    Earth Mama

    ★★½

    A personal coming-of-age tale of a pregnant single mother who chooses her family's future while embracing her Bay Area community.

    Before the release I was thinking that Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff would be the real star but at the end it was Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova that stole…
