Blockers (2018)

Occasionally funny. Teens are stupid.

Rating: C-

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

The excessive swearing, especially the Lord’s name in vain, was both unnecessary and distracting from the story. A story of sad, broken people inflicting cruelties upon one another. Charlie’s mom from Always Sunny In Philadelphia fit right in. Very dark and ultimately rather unfulfilling. I guess that’s the Academy’s sweet spot.

Rating: C

Lady Bird (2017)

A sharp snapshot of a semi-rebellious girl surviving her high school years. The writing is incredibly on point, as is the acting. Fabulous performances all around. So much awkwardness. 

Rating: B
