The Rachel Papers (1989)
Misplaced Effort for Ms. Skye
The lovely Ione Skye is put thru sex-scene paces with her insufferable male costar in this substandard film. It strains credulity to imagine what she sees in him. What a waste.
Ms. Skye is beautful, talented, and sexy, but comes off as defiled in this show, which has little to recommend it other than Ione herself. An unfortunate fate for the lovely star of Say Anything. Here's hoping she finds better starring vehicles in her subsequent work.
It would be hard to recommend this show as anything other than an unimpressive sex romp that holds very limited appeal considering the loveliness of Ione Skye.
Enola Holmes (2020)
Charming and life-affirming
I found this movie very enjoyable to watch.
Millie Bobby Brown is an exceptionally talented and charismatic actress and plays the budding brilliant detective convincingly. The theme is not so much about feminism or women's empowerment as about freedom, the right to live one's own life and mske one's own choices. The reform bill referred to was not about women's suffrage but extending the vote to more men. Women got the vote around 1918, not 1884. One need not be a Sherlock Holmes scholar to enjoy the movie, and it's about Enola, not her brothers. It's visually lovely and quite entertaining. I wouldn't mind a sequel.
