    ★★★★½

    An engaging look at an almost unfairly talented individual as he navigates the waters of creating his magnum opus while his wife undergoes cancer treatment. I expect this to make the Oscar documentary short-list this year.

    ★★★½

    This is a solid and entertaining movie about the creation of one of my wife's favorite snacks, the Flamin' Hot Cheeto. It may seem like a trite concept for a movie, but the creator has an interesting story worth telling, and Eva Longoria shows promise in her feature directorial debut.

    ★★★★½

    A bold and audacious film from Todd Haynes, one of the most unique directors working today. Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore give fearless performances, completely immersing themselves into complex, layered roles. Charles Melton is also terrific.

    ★★★½

    The battles are incredible, and Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby give the expected good performances. At two hours and 40 minutes it goes by a little slow, but it was worth seeing on the big screen.
