Being The Ricardos (2021) Designed with soft hues and enjoyable detail, a spirited Nicole Kidman and artful Javier Bardem convincingly bring to life Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Biting dialogue and generous support have tangible sense of truth, even if collapsed, forced events ultimately undermine.
Water For Elephants (2011) Bright-eyed Robert Pattinson's memories of work and romance at Depression-era traveling circus feature sumptuous visuals though dramatic pulse remains restrained and passion with steely Reese Witherspoon never quite takes flight. Nostalgic charm prevails.
Roadgames (1981) Playful thriller, cleverly spinning moods with a sure control as drifting truck driver Stacy Keach believes he's on the trail of a serial killer burying body parts in the desert. Light touch, good nature and sparky Jamie Lee Curtis maintain involvement amid genre set pieces.
Bølgen (The Wave) (2015) Told with fluid, clinical style, disaster conventions of natural wiping out Norwegian town are embraced while emotional investment smartly concentrates on more intimate experience of family survival. Picturesque mountain locations and persuasive devastation.
Annie (2014) Spirited Quvenzhane Wallis makes a crafty orphan changing lives and spreading music amid plush New York locations. Jamie Foxx, Rose Byrne and cast sell comic touch with appealing energy,, though music arrangements dilute emotion and updated setting lacks resonance.
Hemel (2012) Ferocious, unrepentant Hannah Hoekstra searches for sparks of tangible emotion in the shadow of carefree father. Dreamy soundtrack and style confronts provoking subject matter, creating a character tension as gripping as it's ultimately poignant. Fascinating and brutal.
