A big HELLO from a chilly but sunny London. We spent the better part of a day at the massive National Gallery. It houses one of the largest collections of art spanning centuries.
We thought you might like a peek at what might be the best of the best. We hope you will enjoy.
HAPPY NEW YEAR greetings to all! We send our best wishes to you for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!!
Please see the odd mix of films and their reviews below. We are unable to explain the logic other than it appears to be a ‘free for all’ as the year comes to an end. These four films each have quirky distribution and release dates. They may not be available in some markets at all. If by chance you have seen any of these, we would love to hear your comments.
Special note: This was a record breaking movie count for us this year, 228 films in theaters! It will be an interesting year ahead as companies like Movie Pass struggle to survive and AMC’s A List grows and streaming sources continue to carve out their chunk of the audiences.

Mirai
This complicated and sometimes confusing Japanese animated feature film by Director Mamoru Hosoda tells the story about a young boy struggling to find his place in his family when his baby sister joins the household.
It’s quite creative and insightful. There is a magic garden, time travel, many adventures and a few spooky encounters. There are a few dark scenes that seem to represent frustration and despair but these are balanced with many uplifting moments of discovery and joy.
The entire film is dubbed in English which makes it easy to watch (rather than reading subtitles). It is rated PG for thematic elements including some scary images. It may not be suitable for young children. In fact, there were no children in the theater where we viewed the film.
The genre is listed as Animation, Anime & Manga, Art House & International, Kids & Family with a run time of 98 minutes.
Rating: 
Vice
This is an unusual film about former Vice President Dick Cheney and his role as Vice President to President George W. Bush and the 2000 presidential election. There is nothing new or surprising from a historical perspective except for the “how” things occurred rather than “what” occurred.
The acting is excellent with an all star cast. Christian Bale transforms into Dick Cheney. Sam Rockwell captures George W. Bush. Steve Carell becomes Donald Rumsfeld. Amy Adams is brilliant as Lynne Cheney. Justin Kirk is Scooter Libby. LisaGay Hamilton is perfect as Condoleeza Rice. There are dozens more including bit parts for Eddie Marsan, Naomi Watts, Alfred Molina and Jeff Bosley.
The film is rated R for language and some violent images. We do not think this film is appropriate for children. It is listed as a drama with a run time of 132 minutes.
Rating: 
If Beale Street Could Talk
This powerful film is set in 1972 Harlem. It is based on the novel by the same name. It is stunning movie making. It’s a testimony to an African American couple’s unbreakable bond with each other in a racially biased world.
The acting is exceptional. KiKi Layne is the wife, Stephan James is the husband. Regina King is the mom. Colman Dominggo is the father. Ed Skrein is the bad cop. Dave Franco plays the real estate agent.
The film is expertly crafted, brimming with social commentary and a sensory script. It is sometimes painful to watch but there are also moments filled with love and compassion.
It’s rated R for language and some sexual content. It’s not suitable for young children. It’s already nominated for three Golden Globes. There’s undoubtedly more accolades to come. It’s genre is Drama, Romance with a run time of 117 minutes.
Rating
Second Act
This ‘feel good’ movie works mostly because of the believable characters offered to the audience. It’s the story of an undervalued assistant store manager, Jennifer Lopez, who manages to maneuver her way into a high profile Management job while juggling friends, family and a boyfriend. It asks a lot from the audience.
That said, the cast comes together just enough to pull it off. Milo Ventimiglia plays the boyfriend. Vannessa Hudgens is the daughter. There is a mix of friends and coworkers rounding out the core characters.
It is rated PG-13 for some crude sexual references and language. It’s listed as a Comedy, Romance. We feel it is suitable for mature children. The run time is 103 minutes.
Rating
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
This just released rendition of Spider-Man takes place in a computer generated “multiverse” where seemingly all the spider-people/cartoons exist in alternate universes. Apparently there was/has been swarms of radioactive spiders floating around the spheres infecting cartoon characters en mass.
The good news is the approach is engaging, unique, thought provoking and, well, just a lighthearted ride through the eyes of those talented animators. It has a good cast of characters: Shamik Moor as Miles Morales, Jake Johnson and Nicolas Cage as Spider-Man, John Mulaney as Spider-Ham, Hailee Steinfeld as Spider-Woman. Mahershala Ali as Uncle Aaron. Liev Schrieber, Lily Tomlin, Chris Pine, Zoe Kravitz and a dozen more round out the voice actors.
It is rated PG for frenetic animated sequences of animated action violence, thematic elements and mild language. Parents with young children should be aware there is large scale destruction, frequent peril, lots of suspense, questionable language (crap, hell, dang, dumb…) but it is balanced with friendship, teamwork and such.
It’s listed as Action & Adventure, Animation, Kids & Family, Science Fiction & Fantasy. The run time is 100 minutes.
Rating:
On the Basis of Sex
The much anticipated release of “On the Basis of Sex” is the story about the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Supreme Court Justice, dating back to a 1970’s case about tax deduction and forward to her appointment to the Supreme Court in 1993. Judge Ginsburg this year celebrates 25 years on the Supreme Court.
True: Ginsburg attended classes for her husband when he was sick.
True: Husband Marty gave her the Moritz v. Commissioner Case.
False: Jane, their daughter, worked with Ginsburg growing up.
False: Women’s Rights Activist Dorothy Kenyon helped Gisnburg gain backing from the ALCU.
The acting makes the story believable. Felicity Jones plays Ginsburg as wife and mother. Armie Hammer plays her husband Martin. Cailee Spaeny plays the daughter. Justin Theroux, Kathy Bates and Sam Waterson give solid performances. Another 60 plus actors fill in the rest of the cast.
The film is rated PG-13 for some language and suggestive content. It is listed as a Drama with a run time of 120 minutes. It is a must see for history and current event buffs.
Rating:
Welcome to Marwen
This is a unique film made interesting because it is based on a documentary about a man with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome after being beaten nearly to death.
The cast is compact. Steve Carell does a good job as the victim, Mark Hogancamp. Leslie Mann is the neighbor. Merritt Wever works at the local hobby shop. Janelle Monae is a friend from rehab. Eiza Gonzalez is a friend at the bar where Mark works part-time. Another dozen actors round out the cast.
Audience response has been mixed. That’s a shame because it is ultimately about a hate crime, the collateral damage it caused, and the life long impact it had. That said, the story danced around several topics without explanation.
It is rated PG-13 for sequences of fantasy violence, disturbing images, brief suggestive content, thematic material and language. We do not recommend this film for children due to violence and subject matter. It is listed a drama running 116 minutes.

We wish everyone a wonderful Christmas/Holiday Season. It has been an incredible year of incredible travel. We are especially grateful for our friends and family throughout the States and around the world. Each of you have a special place in our hearts. Thank you for the love and friendship. J&J
It’s bonus week. We plan to squeeze in as many films as possible before New Year’s along with reviews so we can feel comfortable before our New Year’s visit to London.
Capernaum
Here is another “just released” film, this one about the slums of Beirut, Lebanon. This is a gut wrenching story about a 12 year old boy who runs away from his abusive parents only to find himself caring for a two year old Ethiopian child abandoned by his mother.
Be warned, this film is extremely difficult to watch. The scenes of human trafficking, injustice, child abuse, hunger and suffering are quite difficult to view. So why pay to see such a film? Because this is as real as it gets. The film is more documentary than drama.
The film is rated R for language and some drug material. Its genre is noted as a drama. It is written and directed by Nadine Labaki. It is nominated for Cannes awards in five categories and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. The run time is 2 hours, 30 minutes. Arabic and Ethiopian with English subtitles.
Footnote: Capernaum in French means chaos, hell, disorder.

Aquaman
Who knew?! This weekend’s box office take debuted at #1 with over $72 million ($500 million world wide). That’s good news for the most recent release of DC Comic’s Aquaman.
First the setting: (It gets complicated so bear with us…) First, the City/State of Atlantis still exists. Their rulers have had enough of the surface dwellers, (that would be us) and decided to conquer the surface world to reclaim control of earth. (Is the stewardship of Mother Earth being heard here?!…).
It’s a great cast: Jason Momoa is perfect as Aquaman and heir to Atlantis. Amber Heard is equally great as Mera. Patrick Wilson is also excellent as Ocean Master. Nicole Kidman is very good as the key character Atlanna. Other notable performances include Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the Black Manta, Willem Dafoe, Dolph Lundgren, along with another dozen actors like Julie Andews and real-life Aquaman Hawaiian actor Kekoa Kekumano.
Overall, it is hard to ignore the social and environmental overtones. It is rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action and some language. The genre is noted as Action & Adventure, Science Fiction & Fantasy and a run time of 143 minutes.
Honestly…overall we were disappointed. That said, the film deserves merit for family, environmental subtopics and fantastic visual affects.

Bumblebee
Finally a Transformers movie with a heart warming theme, nice special effects, just the right mix of humor and action. This is sure to gain favor with families even with its production flaws. Some of the military scenes might have been recycled from the cutting room floor.
There is a massive cast of well over 50 actors. We are not sure why the focus was mostly on Hailee Steinfeld as Tomboy Charlie, Jorge Le Lendeborg Jr. as Memo, John Cena as Agent Burns and Jason Drucker as Otis.
The film is rated PG-13 for sequences of Sci-fi action and violence. It’s listed as an Action & Adventure, Science Fiction & Fantasy. The run time is 114 minutes.
We found it a fun diversion from real world issues if only for an hour or two. That said, we cannot figure out the reason for the Christmas release.
Rating:
Anna and the Apocalypse
The full title is…Anna and the Apocalypse: The Scottish Zombie Christmas High School Musical. The good news is this film and its actors do not take this seriously. It’s just the right mix of silly and tacky with irreverent and bombastic. The longer we watched the more entertaining it became. By the end of the movie it was okay to laugh. In fact, it’s a hoot!
The cast is quite talented for the most part. Ben Wiggins, Calum Cormack, Christopher Leveaux, Ella Hunt, Ella Jarvis, Malcolm Cumming, Mark Benton, Marli Siu, Paul Kaye and Sarah Swire.
This film attracted huge audiences in Great Britain. It is based on a short film by the writer-director Ryan McHenry who died of bone cancer at the age of 27. He was not able to complete his film.
It is rated R for zombie violence and gore, language and some sexual material. Its genre is listed as Comedy, Horror, Musical & Performing Arts. It is not appropriate for younger children. The run time is 92 minutes.

Bathtubs Over Broadway
Here is a rare and unique movie genre: Industrial Musicals (sometimes called Corporate Musicals). These were largely corporate productions for Training, Promoting, introducing new product and motivating employees during the last half of the last century.
This film is the concept of Steve Young, a writer for late night television shows like David Letterman. What he discovered was the quirky, corporate propaganda productions of the 1950’s through the 1980’s that attracted top talent of its time. Some of the companies funding these productions included General Electric, McDonald’s, Ford, DuPont, Xerox and dozens more.
This documentary slowly reveals the complex sophistication of the productions along with their “unintentional entertainment value”.
The cast includes cameo appearances from David Letterman, Martin Short, Florence Henderson, Jello Biafra, Chita Rivera, Susan Stroman, Sheldon Harnack, Steve Young and Don Dolles.
The film is rated PG-13 for brief language. It’s listed as a Comedy, Documentary with a run time of 87 minutes.
Footnote: Walmart (and a handful of other companies) still use this genre internally today.

Mary Poppins Returns
Well…It was just a matter of time! The just released Mary Poppins Returns picks up a few decades later when Michael Banks (married and now the father of two) finds himself about to lose his house to foreclosure by the big bad bank where he works.
When out of the blue…Mary Poppins, now played brilliantly by Emily Blunt, floats down on an umbrella and becomes the Nanny to the family of two children…
Let’s fast forward a bit. The production is the perfect balance between everything you expect from an updated Mary Poppins. State of the art special effects, an updated cinematography, new and fresh song and dance routines. A few major plot twists for good measure.
The cast has a few surprises as well. Dick Van Dyke has a stunning bit part. Angela Lansbury does too. Meryl Streep is magnificent as Cousin Topsy. Ben Whishaw and Emily Mortimer play the parents. Colin Firth is the CEO of the bank. Julie Walters was great as the housekeeper.
The film is rated PG with some mild thematic elements and brief action. The genre is described as Kids & Family, Musical & Performing Arts, Science Fiction & Fantasy. The film was skillfully directed by Rob Marshall with a run time of 130 minutes. Walt Disney Pictures creates a new instant classic all over again.

The Mule
First, some facts. This film is Clint Eastwood’s 40th film as a director and he is also the lead actor in the movie. His resume includes acting in more than 60 movies. He is 88 years old.
In The Mule, Eastwood plays an aging down and out horticulturist who is also a drug runner. Alison Eastwood plays the daughter. Bradley Cooper is the DEA agent. Dianne Wiest plays the ex-wife. Micheal Pena plays another DEA agent. Laurence Fishburne plays yet another DEA “special” agent.
There is a another list of actors playing the bad guys really well, including Robert LaSardo, Andy Garcia, Noel Gugliemi, Manny Montana, Ignacio Serricchio, Loren Dean, Eugene Cordero and Victor Rasuk.
It is rated R for language throughout and brief sexual nudity. The genre is Drama, Mystery & Suspense. Mostly, it is Eastwood playing Eastwood. If you are a fan of his work, you are likely to like this one too.
Rating:
The Quake
This film is a sequel to the 2015 Norwegian disaster film The Wave. (Well worth seeing if you have not seen it.)
In this edition, Oslo is the target of a massive earthquake. A geologist played by Kristoffer Joner finds evidence of an immanent quake and tries to warn authorities and loved ones.
The cast is quite compact. Along with Joner, Ane Dahl Torp plays the wife. Jonas Hoff Oftebro plays the son, Edith Haagenrud-Sande is excellent as the young daughter. (All played in The Wave.)
Fact check: Oslo was hit by a 5.4 earthquake in 1904. The epicenter runs directly through the center of Oslo (quite similar to the faults in California).
All said, if you are a fan of natural disaster films, this is well done. Lots of suspense, tension and angst.
It is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of peril and destruction, injury images and brief strong language. The genre is listed as Action & Adventure, Drama, Mystery & Suspense. It runs 106 minutes. Norwegian with English subtitles.
Rating:
Mary Queen of Scots
This is the story of Mary Stuart, the Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18. She returns to her native Scotland and reclaims her throne. It’s strong points include drama and grandeur, generally accurate account of historical events, and a fascinating peek behind the curtains of history that most of us know little about.
The cast is impressive. Saoirse Ronan plays Mary Stuart brilliantly. Margot Robbie morphs into Queen Elizabeth. Joe Alwyn is perfect as Robert Dudley. Jack Lowden plays Lord Darnley. Guy Pearce has a very good bit part. There are a bunch of Earls, Lords and such. Over 100 actors in total.
Overall, the film seems generally accurate with history along with a fair amount of creative liberty. The cinematography is beautiful.
It is rated R for some violence and sexuality. We do not feel it is appropriate for children. It is listed as a Drama with a run time of 112 minutes.
Lots of chatter for the upcoming awards season, especially in the acting categories.

The Favourite
Where to begin. First, the facts. Queen Anne became Queen in 1707. She ruled for only 12 years. She suffered from illness most of her life. She also was pregnant 17 times with 12 miscarriages, four died in their early years. One son died at the age 11. The Queen was married to Prince George of Denmark. He died in 1708. The Queen died at the age of 49 in 1714.
The Queen and her cousin Sarah Churchill were close childhood friends. The Queen made Sarah and her husband John Churchill Duke and Duchess of Marlborough along with other titles and benefits. Sarah’s younger cousin, Abigail, became close as adults and hence the connection to the Queen.
Enough history…back to the film. The cast is relatively small given the expansive and elaborate sets and attention to detail. Emma Stone is perfect as Abigail. Rachel Weisz is exceptional as Sarah Churchill. Olivia Colman is brilliant as Queen Anne. The male actors include James Smith as Godolphin, Nicolas Hoult as Robert Harley, Joe Alwyn as Masham and James Melville as the footman.
All that said, we came away from the viewing disappointed. Cynical comes to mind. Vulgar, tragic, outrageous and sometimes absurd also occur in heavy doses. That said, critics love this film in huge numbers.
It is rated R for strong content, nudity and language. It is listed as a Drama/Comedy with a run time of 2 hours. It will be nominated for several awards.
We would love to hear your thoughts if you see this one.

Bird Box
This Netflix film was just released (the published release date was/is December 21). It’s an interesting premise, reflective of the The Quiet Place except this danger responds to vision instead of sound.
This family unit consists of Sandra Bullock as an awesome mom, Sarah Paulson plays her sister. John Malkovich plays the neighbor. Machine Gun Kelly plays a neighbor. Daniel Macdonald plays the victim mother/daughter duo. It was nice to see Jacki Weaver in a bit part. Trevante Rhodes is excellent as the compassionate hero under extreme pressure.
The good news is the film is well done, beautifully crafted, terrifying at times but never giving up under insurmountable conditions.
It’s rated R for violence, bloody images, language and brief sexuality. It is not suitable for younger audiences. It is listed as a Drama, Mystery & Suspense, Science Fiction & Fantasy. The run time is 117 minutes.

Ben is Back
Ben is Back is the story of a son addicted to drugs who unexpectedly returns from a treatment center on Christmas Eve only to find his family is still struggling with the aftermath of his addiction.
Ben’s mom is delighted, his sister is dubious, his step father is upset and the younger children are confused. And soon the family dog disappears.
The cast and performances are believable. Lucas Hedges is great as the son Ben Burns. Julia Roberts gives a stunning performance as the mom. Kathryn Newton is perfect as the sister. Courtney Bernard Vance is perfect as the step father. Another dozen actors fill in the bit parts.
The tension is appropriate. The tone is tight and intense. The angst is palatable. The suspense becomes part of nearly every scene. The plot is gripping with very few moments of relief.
This film is rated R for language throughout and some drug use. It is listed as a Drama. It was written and directed by Peter Hedges, father to the actor Lucas Hedges. It’s run time is 103 minutes.

Divide and Conquer: The Story of Roger Ailes
In these insane days of national politics, this just released documentary film exposes the rise and fall of Republican Party booster Roger Ailes and his management of the Fox News organization.
Be warned depending on your political perspective, this film about unchecked power and ambition may be quite difficult to watch and absorb. The facts speak for themselves and they are cringe worthy.
The film chronicles Ailes history from Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush to Trump and exposes the underbelly of politics of sexual misconduct at Fox News in 2016. There is a lot to absorb, much of it revolting, disgusting and ultimately disturbing.
The film is not rated. It is listed as a Documentary with a run time of 107 minutes.
Rating:
Vox Lux
This is an exceptional late release film with a timely, relevant message about pop culture and its place in the this century. It begins in 1999 but takes a fast track forward to 2017. That makes parts of the story a bit of a challenge for the viewer.
The cast is A-List: Natalie Portman is amazing as Celeste. Raffey Cassidy plays two roles, one a young Celeste and later her daughter Albertine. Judy Law is the band manager, Willem Dafoe is the voice of the narrator and Jennifer Ehle plays the publicist. Another 50 actors round out the cast.
The story spans a number of topics, including stardom, tragedy, loss of innocence, celebrity and fame. It’s rated R for language, some strong violence and drug content. It is not suitable for younger children. The run time is 112 minutes.
We predict several award nominations from one or more award venues.

Free Solo
We did not know what “Free Solo” was when we first heard about this film by National Geographic Documentary Films. It’s the story about rock climber Alex Honnold and the first solo climb of Yosemite National Parks’s El Capitan’s 3,000 foot vertical face. ‘First solo’ means no ropes or equipment, just pure physical skills.
It is filmed by the award winning filmmaker E. Chai Vasarhelyi and the world renowned photographer Jimmy Chin. The scenes of the mountain from the base up or the top down are breathtaking, stunning and mind numbing at the same time.
The cast is tiny. Alex Honnold is the focus of the film. Sanni Candless is his girlfriend. Jimmy Chin is the photographer and Tommy Caldwell is a fellow climber.
While the location is stunning, it’s the pure energy, skills and experience of Alex that makes this feat possible. The result is a jaw dropping, nerve shattering movie going experience.
Do not miss this ground breaking film. It is sure to be nominated for numerous awards.
It is rated PG-13 for brief strong language. It’s genre is Documentary with a run time of 1 hour, 40 minutes.

At Eternity’s Gate
Here is a film that attempts to explain the thinking of Vincent Van Gogh in his tormented years near the end of his life. It is mostly set in Arles and Auvers-sur-Oise, France where Van Gogh painted 75 paintings in his last 80 days of life. Many are regarded as some of the his best work.
The cast is splendid. In addition to Willem Dafoe (who was just nominated for Best Actor by the Golden Globes) as Vincent van Gogh, Rupert Friend plays his brother Theo. Oscar Isaac plays Paul Gauguin, Mads Mikkelsen plays the priest, and Mathieu Amalric plays the doctor. More than two dozen cast members fill in the various characters.
Critics and audiences liked this production. From our perspective, it is an interesting look at a mad genius painter at his most creative, the inner forces that tormented him and a peek at a place in time we rarely see in today’s cinema. The cinematography is stunning.
It is rated R for some thematic content. It’s listed as a Drama with a run time of 111 minutes. We do not feel it is suitable for children. It is Directed by Academy Award nominee Julien Schnabel. English and French with English subtitles.

The Shoplifters
This is a unique film directed by Hirokazu Koreeda about a Japanese family that…well isn’t, at least biologically. Add to the mix they steal just about anything they need; food, household goods, personal hygiene products or whatever else they need to live like normal people.
It’s unnerving at first, it feels wrong. It is wrong. Collectively the ‘family’ goes about its daily business as though this is the norm for all of society.
The all Japanese cast fit well together. Each actor is comfortable in their character’s skin. The performances of the children was exceptional. It’s a bit odd because the concept is so not Japanese, yet it works as a whole.
It’s surprisingly rated R for some sexual content and nudity. It is probably okay for mature children although it may require some conversation. It is listed as Art House & International, Drama with a run time of two hours, one minute. Japanese with English subtitles.
It was just nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Foreign Film category.

Roma
This is an extraordinary film about a year in the life of a middle class family in Mexico City set in the 1970’s. The husband is a physician whose work requires extended time away from the family. The wife is a biochemist working full time. They have four children in grammar school and two young housekeepers to help keep the household running.
It is a semi-autobiographical story about the childhood of Director Alfonso Cuaron. The story drifts from character to character, their challenges and failures.
The core cast is perfect. Yalitza Aparicio plays Cleo, the main housekeeper. Marina de Tavira plays the mom. Nancy Garcia Garcia plays Adela, another housekeeper. Veronica Garcia plays the grandmother. Jorge Antonio Guerrero plays the boyfriend/father. Another 21 characters fill in the rest of the cast.
This film is rated R for graphic nudity, some disturbing images and language. We do not recommend this film for children. It is listed as a Drama with a run time of 135 minutes. It is filmed entirely in black and white and in Spanish with English subtitles. It is surely destined for a prolific awards season, including its recent Golden Globe nominations for Best Foreign Film, Director and Screenplay.

Instant Family
This film sheds light on the complex topic of foster parenting and adoption. It’s less than perfect but it also shares some insight into a system that both works and fails at the same time.
The cast includes Mark Wahlberg as the adopting dad, Rose Byrne as the adopting mom. Isabela Moner as Lizzy the oldest adopted. Gustavo Quiroz as the younger brother. Julianna Gamiz as the little sister. Rounding out the key characters are Octavia Spencer and Tig Notaro playing adoption/foster children advocates.
It is sometimes funny, other times a bit shocking, often chaotic, occasionally annoying but ultimately worth a watch.
It is rated PG-13 for thematic elements, sexual material, language, and some drug references. It is listed as Comedy/Drama with a run time of 117 minutes.

The Possession of Hannah Grace
This movie takes us back to our college days when we both worked for hospitals and saw plenty of gruesome stuff. This film, however, takes those memories to a different level.
First, it is set almost entirely in a dark, seemingly empty Boston hospital when a cadaver is delivered to the hospital’s morgue. Strange and weird things slowly begin to occur overnight…
The cast is quite small, a couple of nurses, a couple of cops, one doctor, a zombie or two, the cast is about 14 in all. That said, as scary movies go, this was pretty effective. Creepy, unique, occasionally terrifying, you get the idea.
The truth is…this was the only new film playing anywhere in the greater Milwaukee area we had not already seen.
It is rated R for gruesome images and terror throughout. It is listed as a Horror, Mystery & Suspense with a run time of 1 hour, 25 minutes. It is NOT appropriate for children. It would not surprise us if it becomes a cult classic sometime in the future.
