The Comeback (2023)
Breath of fresh authenticity
I was looking forward to this when I first saw this pop-up. As far a comedy goes, there were some parts that were funny giving me a chuckle, but all in all is was more drama than anything else. The story was a tad slow but probably needed in order to develop the characters and their family dynamic. A change in family dynamic can REALLY affect everyone. I thought that was very authentic. The other, bigger authenticity that I saw was the relationship between Tay and April characters. They're arguing fighting but still loving each other is very very authentic. I have been in situations like that with my wife. In fact I thought I was the only one who ever did this. But when Tay gave her the middle fingers as she stormed out, that was FANTASTIC. I've never seen that in a movie so it was definitely a breath of fresh authenticity.
Romans (2017)
Terrible
Oh my God. I need the last 90+ minutes back. I kept waiting for it to get better. But it dragged on and on. Could've been one hour. Do we need to take 5 minutes for the priest to walk to his death. The second half was like the rest of the movie didn't exist. I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for something to happen. It's almost as if they were trying to make an Academy Award movie. I found myself fast forwarding through much of this. They'd just too much dead space. It's like taking a video of trying your show and stretching it out to 3 minutes. How it has a 5.5 I'll never know. I can't believe someone gave this a ten.
