5 Star Movies

5 Star Movies: Welcome to Me, Money Monster, Patriot’s Day, Fences, Manchester by the Sea

Welcome to Me: Awesome, weird movie – a perfect showcase for Kristin Wiig’s talents. ****

Money Monster: It’s pretty fun seeing Clooney play a Jim Cramer type and dear God is Jack Reynolds good at acting but this movie just becomes preposterous. **1/2

Patriot’s Day: It tries to tell a few too many stories at once but this was WAY better than I thought it’d be. Super intense and a solid tribute to Boston on top of that. ****

Fences: DENZEL. VIOLA. This is a play on screen with really small set pieces and mostly dialogue and it is absolutely terrific the entire time. *****

Manchester By the Sea: What an emotional fucking movie. ****
