☆☆☆☆1/2
+
Kiki Layne and Stephan James give outstanding performances as Tish and Fonny, a young couple living in Harlem in the 70s and facing discrimination from the police force and justice system.
Look for a best picture nomination and possibly noms for Layne and James as well.
-
The movie ended leaving viewers with so many questions...even though it was probably the best ending to keep the story "real."
Rated R
1 hr 59 min

Second Act
☆☆☆☆
+
Jennifer Lopez stars as Maya, a 40-year-old woman who is tired of street smarts playing second to book smarts. She convinces everyone she can compete on Madison Avenue with just a GED...but maybe not by being completely honest.
-
Don't let so-so reviews keep you from seeing this movie. It's worth the price of admission.

Mary Queen of Scots (2018)
☆☆☆☆1/2
+
Saoirse Ronan gives an award-winning performance as Mary Stuart (Queen of Scots) who enters a power struggle with Queen Elizabeth (Margot Robbie...excellent performance as well) that could change history.
-
In order to get so much information into a 2 hour film, important details were not given the attention they needed to keep the story clear.
Rated R
2 hr 4 min

The Favourite
☆☆☆☆
+
The performances are nomination-worthy (Emma Stone, Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz) in the story of the competition between Lady Sarah (Weisz) and Abigail (Stone) to be the Queen's "favorite."
-
No necessarily the movie you think you are going to see based on the trailer. Not nearly as humorous as the trailer. Actually, there is more sadness and greed than humor.
Rated R
