Movie 1: Unicorns

This is a really touching, heartwarming love story between a London auto mechanic and a Pakastani drag queen. While a drama, this movie covers a wide range of human emotions, especially self-discovery and cultural boundaries, with humor and honesty. Very good cast and both leads are perfect in their roles. Wide distribution in the UK and Europe; limited USA with mostly big city art theatres.

Movie 2: Don’t Let’s Go To The Dogs Tonight

This is a very well acted and directed coming of age story set in April 1980 Rhodesia, as it votes for a new President and to change its name to Zimbabwe. Seen from the eyes of an eight year old girl (played brilliantly by Lexi Venter) she relates the powerful drama between white and black citizens, and the enormous ‘white flight’ after the election. Beautiful cinematography. A very well told story we knew little, if anything, about.

Movie 3: Eddington

This is a very tense, often chaotic and more than a little confusing satire about the beginning months of the Covid pandemic. This movie seems to toggle between several movie genres, western, comedy and drama but always coming back to a modern day, and dystopian, western. A not so honest sheriff is running for mayor of a small New Mexico town. There really was too much going on to fully understand, or appreciate, the movie. We will say Joaquin Phoenix gives a tour d force performance.
