June 2019 films and series


 RBG. Great documentary!









Ready Player One. Having just read the book, I was surprised at how much of the plot was changed and how much was completely left out.








The Bookshop. Disappointing. Not nearly as charming as the previews implied!











The Last Waltz. Directed by Martin Scorsese. A good concert documentary of the last performance of The Band in 1976.









Billions (season 4). Riveting, as usual. Can't wait for next season!












Can You Ever Forgive Me? Interesting film about reprehensible people; but very good acting.









The Little Stranger. Very suspenseful story about a man's obsession with a home where his mother worked as a maid when he was a child.








Murder on the Orient Express. Star-studded remake of the Agatha Christie classic. Fun, but a tad on the slow side.









Studio 54. This was an interesting documentary about the spectacular rise and fall of the NY nightclub.










Luther (season 5). I wish this series was longer; this season was only four episodes long. It ended in a cliffhanger, so I'm expecting another season to wrap up the story line. Idris Elba is wonderful in this, as are Ruth Wilson and Wunmi Mosaku.






Molly's Game. It was just a coincidence that we ended up watching another film with Idris Elba. He sports an American accent in this one and pulls it off with ease. The film was good, if a bit long.
