Coming Together for 'Thirteen Lives'
'Thirteen Lives' gives a dramatic adaptation of a humanitarian triumph that captured the global imagination.

A feature-length musical documentary about the history of the celebrated musician couple Flora Purim and Airto Moreira, who helped shape the global music scene from the 1970s onward as pioneers of jazz fusion. Set against a present-day recording session, the film interweaves the artists’ personal and professional lives, past and present.

One thing’s for certain: Holmes has star power. We may not be able to see everything, but we’re certainly all watching.
Perhaps the most amazing and groundbreaking quality about The Birdcage is how removed it is from both illness and insensitivity. Whereas films preceding it were often somber stories about the tribulations of being gay in a conservatively straight world, Nichols and screenwriter Elaine May expose the fallacies of conservatism as traditional values are thrown into a more open-minded space.

Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.
