'Don't Look Up' Wasn't Much to Look Up to
Adam McKay might have been more concerned with cramming cameos than he was in this story which is a bloated criticism of the rich and famous… delivered unto us by the rich and famous.

"An 80-year-old priest who religiously reads L´Equipe because of his commitment to cycling is a good start to a film. If, in addition, that priest is a defender of smuggling of which he confesses to be a faithful practitioner and unleashes, among other things, his opinions about how the Basques love, we are before a great personal and collective portrait. With great success and cinematographic sense, Hubert Knapp dedicated one of his chapters in the French Southwest entirely to an interview with Jean Elissalde "Zerbitzari", priest born in Ascain, screenwriter and member of Euskaltzaindia who did not drop the bible in one hand to play ball with the other. The Parisian filmmaker meets and portrays him in his beautiful Gerezieta parish, a small world that reflects his universe." Punto de Vista Film Festival. Jean Elizalde was also the writter of Andre madre's film "Gure sor lekua".

Based on Bethany's autobiography "Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board," this heartwarming film tracks the struggle to pursue normalcy and ambition after a major injury.
As noted in the headline, I didn’t like this movie. Not to say it’s the worst thing ever, but it’s just…meh. Nothing much to it. Very generic. No surprises. At the very least, the cast is diverse so I’ll give it that.
Overall, The Shining is a great film to watch for its atmosphere and setting. While the characters’ portrayals could’ve been more accurate to the book, they’re all still memorable nonetheless.
Coverage from the Austin Film Festival, highlighting some panels and films that emphasized the importance of diverse and inclusive storytelling.
There were too many irrelevant parts that could have been shortened, and too many characters that didn't advance the plot. Either way, some things didn't add up. This was just another played out plot with little, if any, originality in it. By the end of the film, I wasn't happy that she finally got her freedom, I was happy that it was finally over.
