Candy 2022
Biel was sensational in the leading role and the supporting cast was filled with welcome talented faces. But as it wore on, diminishing returns as we kind of wait and wait and wait with Candy and her lover (Pablo Schreiber) for different reasons. It just kind of... ends? Might have been a spectacular 2 and a 1/2 hour movie, though, since all the right elements are in place.

The Staircase 2022
Lots of interesting characters, strong leads, maddening (in a good way) mystery, but way too much time jumping even in cases where it isnt revealing. 90 minutes too long which is hilarious since one of the main characters is a film editor.

Benedetta 2021
What a surprising treat. Did not expect it to be "fun" but shouldn't have doubted Verhoeven as an entertainer along with his mastery. 131 minutes flies by with wicked performances, great music, camp hallucinations and convincing period ignorance. After "Madeleine Collins" at Venice and this, totally game for whatever Virginie Efira stars in next.
