We managed to get in 3 more films today for a total of 14
The most magical and lovely film of all began the day: Wonderstruck, based on the book. This is a must see, and if you know any children you must take them to see it. It's about a deaf girl who goes on a journey by herself in 1920s NYC. It's also the story of a boy in the 1970s who is parent less and also goes on a journey of his own. I don't want to give away the story but please know it's a charming and endearing story. A joy to watch. Can't wait to see it again.
The second film today was bizzare in a wonderful way-- the shape of water starring Sallie Hawkins, (who I adore) , Richard Jenkins and Michael Shannon. It's a fantasy, so you have to be in the right frame of mind, but if you're open to it, it's an unusual love story. Octavia Spenser plays a delightful supporting role.
The last show today we should have skipped--the other side of hope. The story line was a good idea-- about a Syrian refugee-- but it just isn't a good film.
I'll write up my ratings in another post when I have a chance. But overall it was an excellent group of movies!
Gotta sign off now.
