Yorgos Lanthimos directed Kinds of Kindness, which he calls a triptych fable. It begins with the story of a man without a choice who tries to take control of his own life.
A police officer becomes alarmed that his wife, who was missing at sea, has returned and seems like a different person. A determined woman wants to find someone with special abilities who will become a prodigious spiritual leader.
I am sure there is more to the story, but Lanthimos films appear skewed with abbreviated characters. As the reviews appear, the storyline becomes hashed out.
The cast includes Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer.
Co-written and directed by Kasi Lemmons, Harriet follows a story based on the inspirational life of an iconic American freedom fighter. Harriet Tubman, played by Cynthia Erivo, is one of America’s genuine heroes.
Erivo is a talented singer and starred in the movie Widows, directed by Steve McQueen.
Harriet escaped from slavery and fought slavery by helping to free other slaves. Her courage, ingenuity, and tenacity freed hundreds of enslaved people and changed the course of history.
Lemmons’ directing credits include Eve’s Bayou, and she is also an actress. The story is by Gregory Allen Howard, and he contributed to the screenplay.
The following two clips show a well-acted movie with exciting talent.
The following two featurettes describe Harriet as having superpowers like a superhero. Fascinating, and I wonder if that is true or just folklore.
The following two movie clips are scenes in the trailers and featurettes. The settings seem extended and offer more than what was in the trailers and featurettes.
Directed by Chris Weitz, Operation Finale is a thrilling true story that follows the 1960 covert mission of legendary Mossad agent Peter Malkin, played by Oscar Isaac, as he infiltrates Argentina and captures Adolf Eichmann, played by Ben Kingsley, the Nazi officer who masterminded the transportation logistics that brought millions of innocent Jews to their deaths in concentration camps.
Mossad is the national intelligence agency of Israel.
The atrocities of the Nazi regime is forever in our minds. We will never forget how crazy and mad a group of evil men and women can become if they are allowed to dramatize freely without being stopped.
The latest poster image communicates so much better. We must be vigilant and never let such atrocities happen again.
The rest of the cast include Lior Raz, Melanie Laurent, Nick Kroll, Joe Alwyn, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Aronov, Ohad Knoller, Greg Hill, Torben Liebrecht, Mike Hernandez, Greta Scacchi, and Pêpê Rapazote.

Three-time Oscar winner Ang Lee dives right into an extraordinary vision of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, based on the bestselling novel. The film is told from 19-year-old private Billy Lynn, played by Joe Alwyn, who, along with his fellow soldiers in Bravo Squad, becomes a hero after a harrowing Iraq battle and is brought home temporarily for a victory tour.
The story is told through flashbacks, culminating at the Thanksgiving Day football game’s spectacular halftime show. The film reveals what really happened to the squad which contrasts the war’s realities with America’s perceptions.
The film also stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Tucker, Garrett Hedlund, Vin Diesel, and Steve Martin. Lee used a new technology that involved shooting at an ultra-high frame rate for the first time in film history. He created an immersive digital experience helping him dramatize war in a way we’ve never seen before. Lee directed and produced the film, from a screenplay by Jean-Christophe Castelli and based on the novel by Ben Fountain.
