Sing

Okay, I straight up loved this. There was nothing about this feel-good film I didn't love. I cannot say anything bad about it, honestly. It was sweet, I loved the redemption story, and all the character work was awesome. I had no idea ScarJo could sing either, so that was a bonus for me. Loved this! 5/5

The Lobster

This is an utterly unique movie, which, in this day and age, is no mean feat. It's hyper-stylized, but in a way I found intriguing, not off-putting. The choice of dialogue delivery confused me for a little while, until the allegorical layer of *why* everyone spoke as they did occurred to me. When I began to realize that nearly everything in this movie was layered with meaning, I became ever more intrigued. I could spend a year analyzing this and probably still miss things, but I really was totally enthralled by it. Very daring. 4/5

Carnage

The acting was excellent but the plot became more ridiculous & unbelievable by the minute. Why take it so far? Hrmm. 3/5

Terri

This is a wonderful, sweet, funny, touching & achingly well-acted coming-of-age dramedy - really good stuff & LOL worthy. 4/5

Cedar Rapids

This was actually much funnier than I expected - silly & ridiculous, yes, but still funny with a solid cast. 3/5

Cyrus

This is a REALLY smartly written dramedy that lets Reilly & Tomei shine. Expertly handled - it worked wonderfully. 4/5
