Mrs. Lowry and Son
Knives Out
Martha: a Picture Story
Here's an interesting week that makes me ponder how everyone's perception of a film is so very personal. While I loved Mrs. Lowry and Son, some critics have been unkind, finding it "boring". While other critics are over the moon about Knives Out, I find myself, despite being mildly entertained, somewhat critical of it. Ah, well, thank heavens for divergent thought, or there'd only be one sort of film for us all to watch! I truly believe most films have something to offer to someone, and very few can be totally dismissed as worthless.
