A fun piece of malarkey interspersed with wisdom and some poignant insight on improving the state of humanity. I found my copy at a flea market 50 years ago. I haul it out every few years as a curiosity, but really, aren’t all religious writings curious?

How about just changing some of the art work that is now considered offensive? The rhymes and text are wonderful and fun for kids and adults. Certainly some modern illustrator could take on the challenge of modernizing the illustrations. If we ban everything that is not politically correct by today’s standards, we won’t have anything written prior to 2019!

It was, well, OK. It should have been better. It has all the elements of a great heist film but it never coalesces into a thriller. It has an impressive amount of acting talent. Viola Davis usually rules the screen, and turns in a fine performance here, given the material she was handed. Alice Debicki shines as a woman who is venturing a toehold on her own value. The four women of the heist are solid, but never really flashy, which might be what this film needed. The men of the film don’t have much to do other than act menacing or corrupt or both. (Bobby Duvall gives such a bizarre performance as a corrupt Chicago patriarch that I was sad for him.) I’d say Steve McQueen missed some element that could have elevated this film into Heist Film greatness. I don’t know exactly what, but it’s missing something. I still recommend it, but I wouldn’t watch it twice.
