Blackbird (2021) - Movie Review

Well… after a much longer (and unannounced; apologies for that) break than anticipated, I’m already wishing I took a bit more care regarding the film I'd come back with. I mean, a film all about voluntary euthanasia isn't exactly the cheeriest material I could have picked for my return. But after so much inactivity, I’ll take anything I can get my hands on, and to this film’s credit, I certainly don’t feel like I wasted my time watching it.

Gifted (2017) - Movie Review


http://redribbonreviewers.wordpress.com/
The plot: After the death of her mother, seven-year-old Mary (Mckenna Grace) was left in the care of her uncle Frank (Chris Evans). When Mary’s school teacher Bonnie (Jenny Slate) discovers Mary’s talent for complex mathematics, it sparks a debate between Frank and Mary’s grandmother Evelyn (Lindsay Duncan) about whether the opportunities Frank is allowing her niece are fulfilling her potential. As the matter gets brought into court, Mary’s ultimate fate rests on who can make a better case for what is right for the child.
