Boston Strangler 20th Century Studios, Scott Free Productions, LuckyChap Entertainment Hulu Release date March 17, 2023 Description Loretta McLaughlin was the reporter who broke the story of the Boston Strangler. Along with reporter Jean Cole, McLaughlin challenged the sexism of the era, pursuing the story at personal risk and uncovering corruption that cast doubt on the identity of the strangler. #whatonwhatsgood Express Review The Boston Strangler murdered 13 women in the Boston, Massachusetts area in the 1960s.  The Boston Strangler movie follows Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightley) and fellow reporter Jean Cole (Carrie Coon) who are trying to get the story out about who is doing these crimes.   Unfortunately, they are met with many challenges from men in order to tell their narrative. Boston Strangler is a decent film.  I like the pairing of Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon. Directed by Matt Ruskin Written by Matt Ruskin Produced by Ridley Scott, Kevin ...

Film Review: The Swimmers

The Swimmers Working Title Films Netflix My Rating 6/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating  65% #whatonwhatsgood The Swimmers Express Review There's a war in Syria and Syrian swimmer Yusra Mardini (Nathalie Issa) and her sister, Sara (Manal Issa) decided they needed to leave.  The film is really about survival.  Can these girls really make it to Germany without being harmed?  What will they need to do to get out of Syria safely?      Overall, I think director Sally El Hosaini's' The Swimmers' did a fantastic job of telling this inspirational, heartfelt, and emotional true story.   The film really shows what Yusra and Sara had to overcome along the way.  The only flaw I saw in the movie was that I thought they rushed Yusra's journey to make it to the 2016 Rio Olympics.  Release dates September 8, 2022 (TIFF) November 11, 2022  November 23, 2022 (Netflix) Directed by Sally El Hosaini Screenplay by Sally El Hosaini an...

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris eOne, Superbe Films, Moonriver Content, Hero Squared Focus Features Release dates 15 July 2022 (United States) 30 September 2022 (United Kingdom) Filmmaker Anthony Fabian discusses MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS in theatres on July 15, 2022. “I understood these two worlds extremely well, London and Paris. I felt it was a story that I could tell in a very authentic and accurate way.” “The book gives you the bones of the story, but not the flesh. It doesn’t really explain why Mrs. Harris wants this dress, other than in the most frivolous and superficial terms—it had to be more profound. Ultimately, I wanted to suggest that Ada Harris’ heart is healed by going on this journey. She is a widow who has put her heart on ice, and this dress is an inanimate object that she can love without betraying her husband. Somehow, the dress becomes a catalyst for opening her heart and allowing her to love again.”  Guillaume Benski discusses MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS in theat...
