Here, Juror #2, Emilia Perez

Movie 1: Here

This is a very unusual movie, in both the way it is filmed and the narrative. The movie takes place over a couple hundred years, all in the same room of the same house. The camera seldom moves, just focusing on the one room. Once you get use to that, the film becomes interesting and draws you in. Very good directing and acting, especially by Paul Bettany, who plays Tom Hanks father. Not a movie for everyone, but very creative nonetheless.

Movie 2: Juror #2

This is a very entertaining crime drama directed by Clint Eastwood. An unsuspecting juror finds himself with a compelling moral issue. Good directing and acting all around. Not one of Eastwood’s best, but still well done. At 94 years of age, this may be his last movie.

Movie 3: Emilia Perez

Wow, what an overwhelming experience! Original and fascinating from beginning to end. A notorious Mexican drug lord has a sex change operation, and we literally follow the entire transition. Part drama, part musical and all very entertaining. Winner of the Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize and also winner of the Best Actress Award (shared by all four actresses in the movie). In theatres now, coming to Netflix November 13. Spanish with English subtitles.
