While the story may not be particularly original, the film’s strength lies in its authentic portrayal of teenage life and the complexities of relationships both on and off the mat.
“Sweet Dreams”
A sincere film about the reality of addiction and recovery, boosted by a surprisingly authentic dramatic performance from Johnny Knoxville.
“Ricky Stanicky”
Squanders its promising premise and talented cast on a juvenile and uninspired comedy that fails to deliver enough laughs or entertainment to justify its sad existence.
“Road House”
A wild ride of fightin’, spittin’, cussin’, and bone snappin’, this testosterone-fueled muscle movie is perfect for a weekend stream.
“The In Between”
The pacing is painfully slow and the storytelling leisurely lyrical, which both prove to be extremely frustrating.
“Frida”
A must-see for lovers of art and admirers of Kahlo’s works, but those seeking to broaden their horizons will find the film easily accessible.
