Anne of Green Gables (2016)

Sam Levinson's latest film can't keep up with the excellence of its performances.

The new biopic 'Elvis' highlights the beginning and end of the career of this rock and roll legend. The audience is taken on this journey knowing the tragic ending but not so much about what led him there.
