Last Christmas (2019)
“You’ve got to take care of your heart.” It’s hard to explain just how off everything about Last Christmas feels from the first scene to the last. It’s a comedy […]

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019)
“There is always something you can do with the mad that you feel.” Therapeutic, life-affirming, and deeply religious without ever relying on preaching, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is […]
