The Meddler

I admit I'm not a big fan of Sarandon but she was really great in this. It reminded me of "Hello, My Name is Doris" in feel and tone, although I connected more with the message of "Doris". A solid feel-good comedy with good performances. 3.5/5

Middle of Nowhere

This sweet but unremarkable dramedy had some great acting, particularly from Yelchin but didn't grab me. 3/5

The Greatest

A saccharine pile of crap I've seen done better a dozen time. I really expected more from these actors. 2/5
