- DirectorJudd ApatowStarsPete DavidsonBel PowleyRicky VelezScott has been a case of arrested development since his firefighter dad died. He spends his days smoking weed and dreaming of being a tattoo artist until events force him to grapple with his grief and take his first steps forward in life.Masterpiece. Never know what to expect. Droll.
- DirectorAaron SorkinStarsEddie RedmayneAlex SharpSacha Baron CohenThe story of 7 people on trial stemming from various charges surrounding the uprising at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois.Thriller, even knowing outcome. Convincing inside story of private discussions. "You don't have to explain; I went to Brandeis."
- DirectorLadj LyStarsDamien BonnardAlexis ManentiDjebril ZongaA cop from the provinces moves to Paris to join the Anti-Crime Brigade of Montfermeil, discovering an underworld where the tensions between the different groups mark the rhythm.A French Spike Lee. Non-stop excitement, more than "Do the Right Thing." Exactly what cops' life like. Sympathetic toward flics til they don't take victim to ER.
- DirectorJames LebrechtNicole NewnhamStarsJames LebrechtLionel Je'WoodyardJoseph O'ConorDown the road from Woodstock, a revolution blossomed at a ramshackle summer camp for teenagers with disabilities, transforming their lives and igniting a landmark movement.But it's so much more: history of disabled rights movement. What sets it apart is old camp footage, moving to present day, like "7 Up"s
- DirectorAngel Manuel SotoStarsJahi Di'Allo WinstonMeek MillWilliam CatlettFourteen-year-old Mouse desperately wants to join the Midnight Clique, an infamous group of Baltimore dirt-bike riders who rule the summertime streets.So well done I forgive any flaws, like mumbling, improbable climax, and getting away with crimes ("Did you think we were delivering pizzas?").
- DirectorSpike LeeStarsDelroy LindoJonathan MajorsClarke PetersFour black veterans battle the forces of man and nature when they return to Viet Nam seeking the remains of their fallen squad leader and the gold fortune he helped them hide.Spike does it again. Thrilling battles, past and present. Good casting decision. Also great scene in floating market--"You killed my parents." His "Treasure of Sierra Madre."
- DirectorWoody AllenStarsTimothée ChalametElle FanningLiev SchreiberA young couple arrives in New York for a weekend where they are met with bad weather and a series of adventures.Lovely. Marred by character of Ashleigh, whose dumb blondness can't be explained by drink, and unlikely scene of mother confessing. A NY whirlwind.
- DirectorJason WolinerStarsSacha Baron CohenMaria BakalovaTom HanksBorat returns to America from Kazakhstan to America, this time to reveal more about the American culture, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the political elections.Early stuff absolutely hilarious, then devolves to silliness. Some sequences (deb ball) could be cut. Actually compelling story. Great scenes with abortion counselor and nailing Guiliani. “High 5 for Holocaust.”
- DirectorMuta'AliStarsAl SharptonEd KochLouis FarrakhanA look at the events surrounding the murder of Yusuf Hawkins, a black teenager in Brooklyn, who was killed in by a group of white youths.Thoughtful people. Big deal in NY; hardly a ripple elsewhere. Good gap of years to catch up with them.
- DirectorPhyllida LloydStarsMolly McCannClare DunneRuby Rose O'HaraA young mother escapes her abusive husband and fights back against a broken housing system. She sets out to build her own home and in the process rebuilds her life and re-discovers herself.Life as a house. Is there no justice? (some) Well-constructed. Best building film since "7 Brides."
