Saltburn, All The Light We Cannot See, Wish

Movie 1: Saltburn

This is a film noir about an Oxford student who befriends a rich and handsome classmate and spends a summer at his estate. This is a gothic sexual thriller that alternates between creepy, comedic and fascinating. While this film is not for everyone it slowly draws the viewer into the wealth, obsessions and eventual madness of this British aristocratic family. Critics worldwide are giving this movie rave reviews. The acting is very good. In theatres now, Amazon Prime in December.

Movie 2: All The Light We Cannot See

Set near the end of WWII in St. Malo France, a young blind French woman and a young German soldier cross paths. The story parallels both their lives as each tries to survive until the war is over. Based on the Anthony Doerr novel of the same name, this is a very entertaining and satisfying drama. This is a four part limited series on Netflix.

Movie 3: Wish

We found this Disney animated movie somewhat disappointing. There was nothing unique about the animation, music or storyline. A young girl tries to find her dreams by wishing on stars. Parents and adults will find it slow, but kids will enjoy it.
