Let me preface my discussion of this film by saying that I typically love Wes Anderson and his unique style. When I saw the trailer, I was excited because it looked unique and captivating.

Andrea’s Angle | “Carmen” – Beautiful Performances, but Confusing
I was really looking forward to this film that reimagines the opera, Carmen. I love classical music and operatic dramas, so I was interested to see what a modern retelling would do with the story.

Andrea’s Angle | “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret” – Beautifully Endearing

Andrea’s Angle | “On a Wing and a Prayer” – Feel Good Story, Heavy-Handed Message
One of the main reasons I wanted to watch this film is I’ve always been a fan of Dennis Quaid. He generally has a good track record in films, and most of the films he’s been in have been engaging. After watching this film, Dennis Quaid gives his usual strong performance with a story that…

Andrea’s Angle | “A Good Person” – Emotionally Gut-Wrenching
When I first heard about this film, I was excited. I have rarely watched a movie with Morgan Freeman in it that isn’t good. This film also sounded like it would be emotional and had a fantastic cast beyond Freeman, like Florence Pugh, Molly Shannon, and Zoe Lister-Jones. So I had high hopes for the…
-
Andrea’s Angle | “Inside” – Artistic Performance
For this film, I admit to wanting to watch it merely to see Willem Dafoe, who is an excellent actor. I did wonder briefly if he could carry an entire film by himself, but after watching the movie, he had a masterful and artistic performance that was more than sufficient. I would say this is…
-
Andrea’s Angle | “Champions” – Heartwarming Win
When I saw the trailer for Champions, I appreciated that the filmmakers were attempting to make a film spotlighting diversity in a population that rarely gets attention.

Andrea’s Angle | “Armageddon Time” – Brilliant Coming-of-Age Story
When I watched the trailers for Armageddon Time, one of the first things that captivated me was that it depicted much of the casual racism of the eighties, even in the clips of the film.
