The Ballad of Wallis Island is a gently odd British low key comedy/drama that I appreciated and enjoyed… but not as much as I should have. It’s about a slightly washed up British folk singer who gets a gig on … Continue reading
Sacramento shares significant DNA with the superior but darker A Real Pain. Except instead of taking place across Europe, it settles for a road trip to Sacramento, California. Maybe that’s a downgrade but also maybe it’s more approachable? The film … Continue reading
The Dad Quest is a dire Netflix drama/comedy about an ex-husband who learns his son might not be his kid. So he and the child go on a quest to find his bio-dad. Decent idea for a heart-warming family film… … Continue reading
