Martin and Lisa seem to have everything going right in their professional lives but are unsatisfied with certain aspects of their relationship. Martin doesn't feel that sexual spark and Lisa feels like she's on a treadmill relationship going nowhere as she stares down the clock as minutes tick away on the time line that the Doctor has given her to safely conceive a child of her own. On top of that Martin spends his free time risking his life to save at-risk youth from the unforgiving streets of Detroit when he is suddenly stricken with a medical issue that could derail everyone's lives.
Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
Netflix’s new comedy drama, Don’t Say Good Luck, is a heartwarming tearjerker as well as a love letter to the transformative power of being a theater kid. Directed by Julia Hart, Don’t Say Good Luck follows Sophie (Sunny Sandler), a theater kid who finally gets the lead role in her school’s production of Waitress - just as she finds out her mom Elizabeth (Melanie Lynskey) is dying of cancer. While the singing is by no means spectacular and Sandler’s acting is stiff, the film is grounded in the moving performance of Lynskey as a mother who wants nothing more than for her daughter to achieve her dreams, even if she can’t be there to see them.
