The Walk (2022)
Good but needed more
I wanted there to be more parallels with other divisions in Boston to flesh out the broad truth about divisions among people.
Not a lot.. but a few thoughtful comments and remembrances about events in Northern Ireland and the history with the Brits.
You just have to watch the Godfatherti see the treatment of Italians.
Race is one issue but Irish Catholics were not a welcome group either vs Protestants And Italians were discriminated against too.
By the time of these events both groups became 'American white'.
Do maybe I'm asking too much. Maybe the history of our country needs revisions to include a broader and deeper set of info about how all immigrants were treated here oh and why they left their countries in the first place!
Acrimony (2018)
Already on the edge and Spiraling out of control
Well done except for parts of the end.
Taraji was very good as were the other characters.
Story starts as perhaps as a usual love story with the wrong guy... However, they were young...
It's clear that like anyone who is incapable of recognizing their illness/addiction ...they spiral downward.
Sadly Melinda did not get help earlier. She said she could go over the edge... and she did when she rammed the RV.
Maybe I want too much but Robert could have gotten a job in those 18 years.
His error was his blinders re the battery her's and maybe the family's was not recognizing she really needed professional help..
The end was a bit overboard but that's Tyler Perry.
