Good move, good James Gray (his 'Z' movie, was so underrated) in this genre of pompous films. Pitt, Lee Jones and brief Donald Sutherland, are humanly confrotned with long trips and logers stays.

Not ambitious, even better. The 'irishman' of hookers; when Jennifer offers Constace a space under her coat, began the saga of crime and loyalties and save my like in spite of yours

(Netflix) I like Mati Diop following in close up her characters against the drama and the landscape. The zombi stuff gets a bit confusing, but has its charm. Besides, there's is the genre message. Too much, nice results.

Dolan gets near mainstream, clear, good stoy and even has his themes: a tv star doesn't fit but is as coward as no other Dolan's character...

Wrongly eliptical (Golino misses best moments don't know why) and too centered and reiterative on the same different brothers stuff. An idiot plot runnin on the 'don't tell him he has cancer' stuff

Moving just at the end, when character's drama is a generation drama ('I've been in 6 funerals this year') and he's too afraid to tell... The younger brother and the ex girl friend, are two assets

Soderbergh trivialices almost everything, and the beginning is ugly but didactic; but this is an excellent material. Really, Mossack Fonseca is the best data base to tangle stories, here's a nice attempt. Meryl is great, yeah.

Hathaway's expanded and in a way very chartered world. Love and adventur and landscape and even the best acting by a seal I remember. Lamoir is exotic as always and then she's a woman with a traditional discourse against Louise Platt. Raft and Fonda have a hawksian affair

Eternal love is the core of Borzage carreer. Here he has it and is the besto of the film, even you have to take Jeannette singin'. But going one and one to Aherne to the garden, and having the ghost of Moonbema appearing to him is pure Borzage...

When I saw "Hereditary" I loved all the non terrorific gory traditional stuff. This time, those aspects are in the right soft nightmarish place...
