Diana - Her Story (2017) EDIT “Director Kevin Connor and producer Martin Poll kept the ambitious project on track and focused on the emotional core of the piece.” – Variety Sep 26, 2020 Full Review Without a Kiss Goodbye (1993) EDIT “Black and Meloni give well-crafted, solid performances. Leachman and Staley are outstanding as the turncoat mother-in-law and the smarmy, self-satisfied trial lawyer, respectively.” – Variety Mar 3, 2019 Full Review Deadly Relations (1993) EDIT “Film is ... well produced, with special praise due to production designer Barry Robinson and crew, who captured the feel of the 1960s and '70s not only with accuracy, but also from an uncannily fresh point of view.” – Variety Mar 6, 2018 Full Review Wild Justice (1993) EDIT “This miniseries, which consumes a baffling four hours, is essentially about nothing.” – Variety Mar 2, 2018 Full Review Labor of Love: The Arlette Schweitzer Story (1993) EDIT “Jillian is outstanding, with a natural warmth and vitality in the role. Gold, Smitrovich and Logue are also excellent.” – Variety Mar 2, 2018 Full Review Moment of Truth: Why My Daughter? (1993) EDIT “Drama, based on true story of a mother who lost her daughter to prostitution, stumbles over weak performances and predictable script.” – Variety Mar 2, 2018 Full Review Miracle Child (1993) EDIT “Leachman and Zabriskie do their best to deliver some edge to the material, but are soon swamped by the sentimentality.” – Variety Feb 15, 2018 Full Review Rick Reynolds: Only the Truth is Funny (1992) EDIT “[Reynolds'] sheer willpower and determination in cutting through the tangled thicket of dysfunctional family and career provides much that audiences can admire and identify with.” – Variety Feb 15, 2018 Full Review The Heart of Justice (1993) EDIT “Stoltz is disappointing and drab as the reporter, and the other actors seem stranded with a woeful lack of direction.” – Variety Feb 6, 2018 Full Review Journey to the Center of the Earth (1993) EDIT “Missing is the tongue-in-cheek spirit of fun that made adventure romps like Raiders of the Lost Ark a treat.” – Variety Feb 5, 2018 Full Review Private Debts (1989) EDIT “Cooperstein's direction is right on the mark, going for the rich subtext of feeling as Jessie is forced into the arms of man after man on the dance floor.” – Variety Feb 1, 2018 Full Review Frankie's House (1992) EDIT “What this film does well is to offer a small slice of the war told from the very human P.O.V. of an eccentric Englishman who stumbles into this post-colonial Armageddon.” – Variety Feb 1, 2018 Full Review Switching Parents (1993) EDIT “The emotional power of the issue of child neglect makes up for lackluster performances and predictable retelling of the story of Gregory K, based on the 12-year-old who sued to terminate his parents' rights so that he could be adopted by foster parents.” – Variety Feb 1, 2018 Full Review I Can Make You Love Me (1993) EDIT “Formulaic drama based on the true story of Richard Farley ... combines woman-in-jeopardy and mass-killer genres into a predictable and often gruesome concoction that has little to offer other than gratuitous violence.” – Variety Feb 1, 2018 Full Review Overkill: The Aileen Wuornos Story (1992) EDIT “While the movie does not purport to offer a larger message or moral about this female serial killer, it does offer a fascinating and poignant miniaturist portrait of the troubled lives of Wuornos and her companion Moore.” – Variety Jan 29, 2018 Full Review Mastergate (1992) EDIT “The point is made in the first 20 minutes and, despite some sparkling dialogue, very little happens to hold viewer interest.” – Variety Jan 23, 2018 Full Review Desperate Choices: To Save My Child (1992) EDIT “Actors do their best in these circumstances, with Witherspoon bearing up particularly well under the relentless melodramatic pounding. However, nobody comes out very well in this sentimental mush.” – Variety Jan 20, 2018 Full Review
