Movie Monday - 1/8/2024

The movies keep coming and I’m just getting more behind.

What Happens Later takes place over one night when two former lovers accidentally bump into each other at the airport and all flights are grounded. Meg Ryan and David Duchovny star as the couple who clearly still have feelings for each other. It was cute.

When I hear the description “black comedy,” I expect a few chuckles - there don’t have to be many. In Saltburn, there were none. It was twisted. The son of an aristocratic family invites a less fortunate classmate to spend the summer with him at his family’s grand home. Trouble ensues. The acting (Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver and Archie Madekwe are the mains) was phenomenal. Oh! I am mistaken - Carey Mulligan has a minor role and there was one line about her character that made me chuckle. It was definitely a psychological thriller, but so twisted! 



MK out.
