Close Up (2021)

This animated kids' movie shows viewers two different species--jungle animals and aliens--and how both species coexist.

On top of the phenomenal acting, and great dialogue between the two characters, the cinematography was ravishing! The sound was outstanding! The production design was simple, yet intrinsic. The minimalistic approach in the Malibu beach house represented how little they really have going on in their relationship. The storyline may have been much simpler than "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf,"  but all the more insightful, and much more animalistic at its core.

Overall, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is plagued by numerous flaws, both from a quality and from a diversity standpoint.  The film relies on gore and loud sounds to drown out its flat script, flatter dialogue, and one-dimensional characters. 

The one-way journey went to the desert that refused to offer an answer or a transcendence.

Ester Shapiro who flees the only home she has ever known to start a new life in Berlin.

Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes.
