The Friend, A Nice Indian Boy, Drop

Movie 1: The Friend

This is a sweet, slow developing story about a woman who “inherits” a Great Dane after the death of a dear friend. Set in New York City where it’s difficult for such a large dog to live in a small apartment. Very good performances by Naomi Watts and Bill Murray. Adapted from the 2018 bestselling novel by Sigrid Nunez.

Movie 2: A Nice Indian Boy

This is a touching and tender gay romantic comedy. An Indian man marries a man adopted by Indian parents. The couple meet at a Hindu temple and the fun and romance starts from there. The chemistry between Jonathan Groff and Karan Soni is a winning combination.

Movie 3: Drop

Set almost exclusively in a Chicago restaurant on the 38th floor, this is a thriller about a first date going terribly wrong. A widowed mother meets an assistant to the mayor on a dating app. After having seen the previews for this movie for months, we wanted to like it more than we did. It’s entertaining enough, but weak and predictable writing along with a preposterous plot.
