New on Apple TV Plus: Funny, sweet and down-to-earth; Eve Hewson is very good as the mom who wishes her life had taken a different path 14 years ago.
New in Swedish and Finnish Theaters: OK visual effects, a solid performance by Tuva Novotny and a few white-knuckle sequences make the film satisfying enough.
EHRENGARD: THE ART OF SEDUCTION
New on Netflix: A new Dangerous Liaisons (1988) it ain’t, in spite of pretty production values.
Simple, well-acted and refreshingly mature.
Heartbreaking and infuriating, with a brooding music score and a moving performance by Emilie Kroyer Koppel.
The filmmakers’ light touch and a fine cast counter any negative effect that the formula might hold.
SORCERER (1977)
Longer Review: It now stands as director William Friedkin’s last great contribution.
MAURICE (1987)
Longer Review: James Ivory and his collaborators portray gay love in an adult, believable and emotional way.
ORLANDO (1993)
Longer Review: Sweeps us along for a breathtaking journey through time, keeping us hooked thanks to exceptional costume and production design.
