RICHARD JEWELL
Recommended. When you've heard of the authentic case from 1996 it's based on you get intrigued from the start. The period details include group "Macarena" dancing - hip at the time. Paul Walter Hauser's performance and the situations the simple mind protagonist is presented in make you curious - a big part of the high quality of the movie is the lead's acting. And from the time the bomb goes off, it captivates. Also, the sound's well made. No Atmos version but when in Richard's house, you hear cars driving away behind you - as if you were inside with your back to the door.
MARIANNE & LEONARD: WORDS OF LOVE
Watchable. While the love affair binds the story together, the documentary is predominantly a depiction of the 1960s. Would you have associated the romantic ballad singer with drugs and promiscuity? I didn't but it turns out he and his band would stay high for up to 23 days in a row and he lived in 2 relationships simultaneously and sometimes got laid with 2 women in a single day. These saucy revelations make the second half of the movie more engaging and intriguing than the first. It's not only sensational but also an important voice about "free love" - one of such a couple always got hurt and children of parents living in multiple relationships or changing sexual partners frequently would invariably end up: mentally ill, drug addicts, alcoholics and/or committed suicide.
