Had a marathon yesterday:
"The Wife" - It was a really good film, and I didn't really have any idea what it was about going in. I'd heard about how good Glenn Close was, and that's the major reason I went. She was fantastic, and the story was really interesting. The actress who plays the younger version of Close's character was terrific as well.
"Roma" - I liked the film ok, but it was really slow. I appreciate the artistry of the making of the film but it didn't engage me as much as I thought it would/as I wanted it to. It reminded me a lot of the Italian cinema verite movies I used to watch, except that this had much more of an actual plot.
"Can You Ever Forgive Me?" - I've been iffy because the subject matter didn't interest me that much, and I'm not really a fan of Melissa McCarthy, but I kept hearing stuff about it, and then it won a WGA award, so that persuaded me to go. I did enjoy the film, and it was really interesting, and it was a very different role for Melissa, and I enjoyed her performance. The subject matter is so niche, though, that I'm a bit surprised the film was made at all, much less that it's getting the acclaim it is. Oh, and Jane Curtin has a small role in it, and she's fantastic.
