    Andrea’s Angle | “Shortcomings” – Excellent Performances, Story Falls Short

    With this film, I was so excited to see it. I love Randall Park in every performance he’s been in and was excited to see his directing. I also was looking forward to seeing Sherry Cola and Justin H. Min, as I love the work they’ve been in. The story sounded compelling, but after watching,…

    Andrea’s Angle | “It Ain’t Over” – Superb Depiction of a Cultural Icon

    For me, I’d heard the name Yogi Berra, and I certainly knew of his association with baseball, but I wanted to watch this film to learn more about the man. Yogi Berra (Lawrence Berra) was a cultural icon but not as well known for his skills as he should have been. After watching this superb…

  • Andrea’s Angle | “Carmen” – Beautiful Performances, but Confusing

    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. While the dancing and music are beautifully executed, with most of the music original to the film and the actors’…

  • Andrea’s Angle | “Return to Seoul” – Emotional Rollercoaster

    Andrea’s Angle | “Return to Seoul” – Emotional Rollercoaster

    I love dramas that deal with intense subjects. In this film, the main character Freddie was adopted by a French family and is now trying to figure out who she is and how she fits into her world. After watching the movie, I can tell you it is an emotional rollercoaster as it jumps through…

  • Andrea’s Angle | “One Fine Morning” – Fine But Slow

    Andrea’s Angle | “One Fine Morning” – Fine But Slow

    I’ve always had a soft spot for independent foreign films. So when I hear about one, like One Fine Morning, I want to see it. One Fine Morning deals with some difficult topics, including an ailing father and a difficult relationship, so it has potential. The acting is beautiful, and the relationships are explored well,…

    Andrea’s Angle | “Turn Every Page – The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb” – Captures Two Literary Giants

    I was intensely curious how a documentary that focuses on writing and books could be engaging. But I found this film one of a kind. Not only is it intensely engaging, but the subjects of the documentary, Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb, are both charming and riveting to watch. The documentary was informative and interesting…

  • Andrea’s Angle | “The Son” – Tragic but Flat

    Andrea’s Angle | “The Son” – Tragic but Flat

    In The Son, one of the reasons I was intrigued by the film is that it stars Hugh Jackman, but I was also intrigued by a family struggling with divorce and a son with depression. However, while there were aspects of the film that are thought-provoking and interesting, the focus is not on the son…

    Andrea’s Angle | “Living” – Exquisite Performances, Full of Life

    When I heard of Living, I heard that it starred Bill Nighy. I’ve always loved any film that Bill Nighy has been in, mostly because of the brilliance of his performances. Whether he is the star or a secondary character, he always brings charm and skill to the films he’s in. After watching Living, I…

    Andrea’s Angle | “SALVATORE: Shoemaker of Dreams” – Visually Stunning

    I love seeing films that give me insight into the history of a time or highlight visionaries that might not be known to the wider world. SALVATORE: Shoemaker of Dreams is very much this type of film. While a visionary in shoe design and within Hollywood, he wasn’t someone I was very familiar with. So…

    Andrea’s Angle | “Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song” – Profound and Moving Tribute

    Most people have heard the song “Hallelujah,” especially given its worldwide popularity and haunting quality. But I hadn’t known the song’s origins and much about the creator, Leonard Cohen. So when I heard about this documentary, I was excited to watch it and learn more about Leonard Cohen. I found the documentary a profound and…

    Andrea’s Angle | “The Phantom of the Open” – Whimsical and Hopeful

    I was drawn to this film not because I’m an aficionado of golf but because Mark Rylance’s performances always entertain me. I also loved the story once I read more about Maurice Flitcroft. The game of golf tends to be a game for the elite and those who have the money. Maurice Flitcroft and his…

    Andrea’s Angle | “The Duke” – Quirky and Entertaining

    When I read the description of The Duke, it immediately drew me in for two reasons. First, the cast is incredible, and I knew the acting would be without flaw. Second, the plot sounded incredibly entertaining, especially because it was a fictionalized account of a real story. My biggest hope was that it would live…

    While discussions of racism can be uncomfortable, they are critical for understanding what we still need to accomplish as a country and if you count yourself as any kind of ally. So when I saw the description of this film and what it was about, I really wanted to see it and find out what…
