Movie Monday - 1/28/2019

Roma examines the class and social strife of 1970s Mexico. Cleo is a live-in maid who works for a well-to-do family. Both Cleo and the lady of the house experience man problems. It was very good.

Olivia Colman, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz star in The Favourite. Queen Anne (Colman) is a bit frail. Sarah Churchill, the Duchess of Marlborough and her younger cousin, Abigail Hill vie for the Queen's favour and attention employing cut-throat tactics. It was definitely a dark comedy and it was good.

In Black Panther, the Marvel Comic super hero known as The Black Panther, aims to stop a black market arms dealer from selling a precious substance that would threaten to expose the Wakandan society's true existence. Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan,  Lupita Nyong'o and Angela Bassett skater. It was good, but it's a weak nomination for Best Picture in my book.

Glenn Close gives a knockout performance in The Wife. Her husband has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, but we come to learn she is more deserving of the prize than he is. It was very good. Close should win the Oscar.

MK out.
