The Girl on the Train (2016)
Worthwhile
This was an interesting movie. It was mysterious without being totally corny and it was powerful in many ways. It really made you think about consciousness, reality and how the mind works. It had some real artistic merit in these respects.
The more plot driven elements of the movie were a bit dull and plodding. The relationships seemed a little difficult to believe. This could have been because so much of this movie is not about the words. The elements of the film that were less mysterious and more in the thriller genre did not hold well either. It took away from the gritty parts of the movie that were plausible.
Emily blunt is excellent. This movie is worth seeing.
Swing State (2017)
Don't see it
This was the worst film I have ever seen. I saw it at a terrible LA film festival so should have known. The acting was awful; the writing was worse. I don't know whose idea it was to cast a bunch of washed up celebrities in a movie and think that would either make it good (it didn't) or make it worth seeing (it wasn't). The plot was not funny, so whatever stupid one liners existed fell flat. It was a really dumb film and it's sad that the industry supports real BS like this film and not quality stuff. The music was really bad and really distracting and the sound quality was poor. This film has nothing going for it. Posting this review so you save your money.
