Encounter (2021)
Good character study- not sci-fi!!!
Pretty good emotional Rollercoaster of a father's mental collapse, until last 10 min. Great performances by riz Ahmed & the 2 boys. Seems like they didn't know how to conclude it- so a somewhat silly ending. IMO- didn't want to deal w/ his eventual suicide so fade to black & he'll find a way to do it when institutionalized.....
The Irishman (2019)
Good luck not great.
While his histories of the mob (good fellas) and Vegas (casino) seemed worthy of their epicness & length, this feature is a little long, slow & leggy. Guess I didn't find labor unions & their intersection w/ the mob, politics, etc. as compelling, dramatic, or visually on par w/ his other masterworks. Definitely felt its length- nice w/ Netflix you can build in your own intermission(s)
The Mule (2018)
a cartoon of a movie....
Bad script & more plot holes than you can drive a black pickup truck through. brought to you by Lincoln.
Father Figures (2017)
Better than a Lifetime movie
Somewhat aimless but mildly entertaining. Forced road movie plot & some stiff, predictable acting-situations. Bad soundtrack.
