Don't Look Up (2021) Susan Granger Despite the star-studded cast this frantic satire is fragmented and ham-fisted. Perhaps they were hoping for another 'Dr. Strangelove' or 'Wag the Dog.' No such luck!

8/10
Being the Ricardos (2021) Susan Granger Nicole Kidman captures not only Lucy's exuberant physicality but also the tonal essence of her determination. It's minor Sorkin but Aaron Sorkin is cagey, droll and voraciously smart.

House of Gucci (2021) Susan Granger A flamboyant, extravagant melodrama, the sluggish script overflowing with awkward dialogue and extraneous characters. Lady Gaga's best line ' "Father, Son and the House of Gucci' - was improvised.

Passing (2021) Susan Granger Reminiscent of Elia Kazan's 'Pinky' (1949), starring Jeanne Crain as a light-skinned Black woman , Rebecca Hall's debut feature - cleverly timed to build on conversation about color, cruelty, privilege and secrets - is perceptive, if slow-paced.
