Good Fortune, After the Hunt, Steve

Movie 1: Good Fortune

This is a very delightful and entertaining comedy/drama.  A guardian angel (Keanu Reeves) protects people from texting while driving.  And the low key good humor starts from there.  The cast is wonderful with an easy and winning chemistry. Much better than we had anticipated, a good time at the movies.

Movie 2: After the Hunt

This is a riveting psychological crime drama set on the Yale University campus.  A teacher is accused of sexual assault of a student.  Filled with much timely and relevant topics.  Did he or didn’t he?  The acting of Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield is excellent and both deserve Oscar nominations.  In theatres now, soon to be streaming on Netflix and Prime Video.

Movie 3: Steve

This is a very nuanced, intentionally slow drama about a headmaster of a reform school trying to keep his students in line.  While at the same time dealing with his own issues.  Another fantastic performance by Cillian Murphy.  Based on Max Porter’s novel “Shy”.  On Netflix.

Special Note:  We are off to France and Italy.
Movie reviews will return mid-November. 
Be well everyone.

  1. I only knew about these movies as I saw the stars on late night tv. Will watch when they stream. Nice to hear about good movies.
