THE ELECTRICAL LIFE OF LOUIS WAIN – Review by Diane Carson

October 25, 2021November 2, 2021 Diane Carson Benedict Cumberbatch, biopic, claire foy, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain, Will Sharpe

That director Will Sharpe establishes a spirited, often amusing approach to Louis Wain’s life adds to the entertainment of his roller coaster fortunes without minimizing the hardships he encountered: his adored wife Emily dying young of breast cancer, his sister Marie suffering from schizophrenia, nightmares of drowning, coping with underemployment and social scandal while struggling to lift his mother and five unmarried sisters out of increasingly impoverished circumstances, failing to copyright his images, and his escalating mental illness.

Based on James R. Hansen’s First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong (2005), the film is adapted as a docudrama by Josh Singer and cinematographer Linus Sandgren, focusing on Apollo 11, America’s first successful manned mission to the moon, making good on Pres. John K. Kennedy’s vision for the future and “a giant leap for mankind.”

FIRST MAN – Review by Brandy McDonnell

October 14, 2018October 14, 2018 Brandy McDonnell 0 Comments claire foy, Damien Chazelle, first man, Neil Armstrong, Ryan Gosling

The movie’s pre-release controversy over Chazelle’s decision not to include a scene of Armstrong planting an American flag on the Moon – which in the context of the film would be incredibly out of place – illustrates just how valuable what the filmmaker is doing with “First Man”: allowing us to know one of our most revered American icons as someone who was a man, first.

FIRST MAN – Review by Sarah Knight Adamson

October 13, 2018October 13, 2018 Sarah Knight Adamson 0 Comments claire foy, damian chazelle, first man, Ryan Gosling

There’s a saying from the past, “Behind every successful man there is a woman.” In “First Man” director Damien Chazelle tells the true story of the United States space program focusing on Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling), his family and the events leading up the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969.

Anna Chi's The Disappearance of Mrs. Wu is a lighthearted look at intergenerational dynamics, but takes time to tackle significant issues like immigration policies and racial and sexual identity prejudices too.

THE MAGICIAN’S ELEPHANT on @netflix casts a beautiful and emotional spell, proving some things are impossible only until you believe they're not. I enjoyed the marvelous animation, script, and talented voice cast. More in my @AWFJ review. https://awfj.org/blog/2023/03/17/the-magicians-elephant-review-by-valerie-kalfrin/

From John Wick to The Wire and beyond, Lance Reddick was an actor who elevated every production he was involved with. A fierce talent gone way too soon at just 60. #RIP
