Black Sea 213 (1998)

‘Oppenheimer’ is a force to be reckoned with. A biopic that respects the audience’s intelligence.

Let it Snow in a nutshell, is a warmhearted coming of age teen Christmas movie.

With mismatched eyes, a willingness to experiment with hair color and style, and a rail thin frame, Bowie always drew attention. But he shunned gendered attractiveness, creating his own space somewhere in between. This hallucinatory and often nonlinear 2022 documentary is a perfect salute to David Bowie’s life and career. Rather than interviewing those that knew Bowie, the standard convention for biographical portraits, director Brett Morgen mostly lets the artist’s images, performances, videos, and words speak to capture the essence of the artist. Bowie was more than just a pop star. He painted, sculpted, acted in films, and was a thoughtful and articulate person who gave sincere answers to even the most shallow interview questions.

“Reboot” can be crass and has much room to improve, but with investments of time and care, could flower out of the seed of a vision. 

‘A Good Person’ makes it clear that forgiveness is hard.
