Two Subtitled Suggestions
Here are my reviews of an award-winning Swedish TV series and an odd, funny little Italian movie that made me happy I’ve gotten over my dislike of foreign content with subtitles.
Movie Review: “Sylvie’s Love”
My review of a new movie from Amazon starring Tessa Thompson that was clearly designed to be a throwback to the romcoms of the 1950s, but like most of those is so cliche-ridden you can predict every beat.
Movie Review: “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”
My review of a new movie (streaming on Netflix) starring Viola Davis as a seminal blues singer and Chadwick Boseman in his last role.

POTD: Ann Reinking
Upon hearing of the death of Broadway legend Ann Reinking at 71, I thought of this wonderful scene in Bob Fosse’s movie “All That Jazz,” in which Reinking and Erzsébet Földi dance for Roy Scheider.
Movie Review: “I’m Your Woman”
My review of a new movie about a wife forced to go on the run with an infant because of something her husband was involved in, starring Rachel Brosnahan (“Mrs. Maisel”) and the most photogenic babies I’ve seen on screen in a very long time.
