Gloria Bell Movie Review
This film is far removed from your typical girl meets boy scenario. The acting is superlative throughout and the script delves deeply into what becomes of one’s life when they enter the second major chapter. It also examines how difficult it can be to re-create one’s self for that second chapter.

Little Movie Review
Through the spell of a budding magician that she insults, Jordan wakes up as her thirteen year-old self. It’s at this moment that the film should switch into comedy mode, but it just doesn’t happen. The child actor who plays the adolescent Jordan, a young teenager named Marsai Martin is actually quite good. She is just hampered by a script that goes nowhere.

Regina Hall, who was very funny in Girls Trip doesn’t have enough screen time to weave much of her ...
The Aftermath Movie Review
Setting The Aftermath in this time frame colours the story to a degree but it under-utilises the emotional turmoil of the time to tell a somewhat conventional love story. It is set in the dead of winter and the stark white of the snow underlines the coldness between its main players.

Five Feet Apart Movie Review
Their lives revolve around schedules and treatment but within those strict confinements they are still teenagers. They push the limits and still believe in love (or at least the teen version of it).

//
Of course they fall for each other and run headlong into the myriad of rules and restrictions, the ...
