Please choose to see the Elvis movie with a Dolby Cinema upgrade. Baz Luhrmann's spectacle treatment of the storyline was perfect for my viewing pleasure. We all know by now the quirky style in which this director paints his film canvases. Acting, editing, costume/set design, cinematography....all brilliant. But, the true measure of the film's magnetic power was my 23 year old son's appreciation and rapt attention. He went reluctantly and was hooked from start to finish!

If you have ever had a family member struggling with depression, this movie offers an excellent view into the process of recovery, not only for the person with the depression monster on their shoulder, but for whatever family members (in this case the wife) are trying to help and are in anguish themselves. Why any critic would find disfavor with this movie is puzzling. The performances are excellent, as is the script, direction, editing and the interwoven story line of the Starling bird's impact within the human drama. There is humor to be found as well. I say, good job. Perfect film to view at home on Netflix.

Fun, gentle with nothing nothing dark that is unsuitable for kids and young teens. Also, positive reinforcement about the power of friendships and support during challenges which is the true magic holding things together. Attractive cast, decent effects for a lighty fantasy TV series, nothing over the top and adults can enjoy the viewing fun as well with their kids.

Great balance of so many elements from warm, humorous moments to horrific actions with a story line that mirrors pandemic terror and dread of the unknown. There are unlikely heroes to root for and bad guys to hiss at. Lush production, great props/sets and beautiful background scenery of nature. Actors all hit their marks.

Heard rave review feedback about The Peanut Butter Falcon. Finally watched it. A total gem from start to finish. Sophisticated, authentic storytelling with suberb cast bringing characters to life minus any fake bravado or corny touches. Cheers to everyone who put this truly great indie film on the favored map of critical acclaim.
