5 Star Movies

5 Star Movies: Promising Young Woman, The Father, Hysterical, Thunder Force, Sylvie’s Love

Promising Young Woman: Carey Mulligan is an all-star but all I could think at the end of this was, “what a bummer.” That’s not good. ***1/4

The Father: Sit down and watch Anthony Hopkins act for a little. Phenomenal. ***3/4

Hysterical: Bunch of comedians talk females in comedy and they’re mostly females – high-concept. No deep analysis of anything but a fun watch. ***

Thunder Force: Melissa McCarthy and husband are basically doing big budget movies with direct-to-DVD writing and effort. This was another one. *1/2

Sylvie’s Love: Classy, jazzy, a tale of romance that felt new in how old-fashioned it was. ***1/2
