MOVIE OF THE WEEK June 7, 2019: ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE

June 2, 2019June 12, 2019 Jennifer Merin 0 Comments ali wong, always bemy maybe, betsy bozdech, catemarquis, jennifer merin, leslie combemale, liz whittemore, lorenking, marina antunes, motw, Movie of the Week, nahnatchka kahn, nell minow, netflix, randallpark, sandie angulo chen, Sheila Roberts, susan wloszczyna

Even when you have a pretty strong sense of how it’s going to end, there’s something immensely appealing about a good, old-fashioned romantic comedy; they’re the comfort food of movies. And while Nahnatchka Khan’s “Always Be My Maybe” is, thankfully, refreshingly NEW-fashioned in terms of representation — and has some genuinely surprising comic elements — it’s exactly the kind of romcom that’s perfect to curl up in front of on a Saturday night. (Plus, it has a subplot all about actual comfort food, so there’s that.)

ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE – Review by Sheila Roberts

Netflix’s new Rom-com, Always Be My Maybe, is a refreshing love story smartly directed by Nahnatchka Khan in her feature debut, starring the charming Ali Wong and Randall Park as childhood sweethearts who part ways after a spat then bump into each other 15 years later. Wong and Park deliver sparkling performances as Sasha and Marcus who now live in vastly different worlds and share little in common — or so they think.

"#TheLostKing is far from perfect but it is witty, vaguely edifying, and very British." @LizBraunSun reviews director Stephen Frears' latest, starring the always luminous Sally Hawkins: https://awfj.org/blog/2023/03/18/the-lost-king-review-by-liz-braun/

We had to wait decades for Nicolas Cage's very first western (Butcher's Crossing) but then only 1 year for his second - #TheOldWays. @susangranger reviews the latest from @PrimeVideo: https://awfj.org/blog/2023/03/20/the-old-ways-review-by-susan-granger/

"Documentary-like in its candor, [#TheWorstOnes] is also touchingly tender as it captures a memorable summer in its characters’ lives."
