Fun and mostly light, though occasionally the humor and pathos feel forced.

Elvis 2022
Austin Butler is tremendous. Alas, everything around him is not. Tom Hanks’s turn as Colonel Tom Parker is truly awful. The editing and cinematography make a pretty simple story borderline incoherent. But there are times when Luhrmann achieves movie magic. Unsurprisingly, they all involve Elvis performing or rehearsing. A mixed bag, but still better than Bohemian Rhapsody.

Heartburn 1986
A very winning dramedy from Mike Nichols. Streep and Nicholson are terrific together, especially in the touching scene when they’ve gotten back from a snotty party to their cramped apartment, eating pizza with a trowel, and singing songs together. A lovely, genuine moment rarely put on screen.
