I've watched all the Hallmark Christmas 2020 movie premieres. I'm still binge watching stuff. There's a lot of good ones out there. I watched Bridgerton (good), Emily in Paris (good) and Ratched (so much camp) most recently.
PBS recently aired Elizabeth is Missing on Masterpiece. Glenda Jackson plays Maud, an octogenarian suffering from Alzheimer's. Her friend Elizabeth is missing and she's desperately trying to find her, because Maud is convinced Elizabeth must be in some kind of trouble. Through flashbacks, we learn that Maud had a sister, Sukey, who had gone missing years ago and was never found. It was an interesting look at Alzheimer's Disease from the patient's viewpoint. It was very good.
In Martha Marcy May Marlene, a young woman (who goes by all these names, and you see why almost right off the bat) escapes a cult and reconnects with her older sister. In flashbacks, her life in the cult is elucidated. Soon, it's clear that she needs some help to heal from her experience. Elizabeth Olsen, Sarah Paulson, Hugh Dancy and John Hawkes star in this film. It was okay.
After I finished the memoir, I did watch Hillbilly Ellegy, starring Amy Adams and Glenn Close. It was a decent adaptation of the book, and the performances shined.
Until next time.
MK out.
