Review by Camden Ferrell Frederick Wiseman is seen by many as one of the most significant and important figures in documentary filmmaking. His influential work dates back to the 1960’s, but he’s still in full force, making movies at the impressive age of 93. Menus – Plaisirs — Les Troisgros is his newest film that had its premiere at the 2023 Venice Film Festival. At four hours, this is a hefty documentary that goes by rather swiftly thanks to sharp editing and an engrossing and compelling subject. The Troisgros family is a dynasty of culinary prestige, owning and operating three restaurants in central France. Troisgros, the restaurant at which this film predominantly takes place, has been around for 93 years and has maintained three Michelin stars for 55 of them. This film follows the present chef and staff as they prepare for service at their restaurant. This might sound like a simple premise, but Wiseman is able to dissect this premise and allow the viewer to closely analyze the minutiae that goes into operating a restaurant of this caliber. The subject itself lends itself well to narrative storytelling. There’s no ambiguity in the process of running these restaurants. The film’s lengthy runtime allows us to see every tiny aspect from start to finish. We see the purchase of vegetables in a local market, the visit to a cheese processing center, the creation and preparation of their dishes, etc. For example, the movie is able to spend several minutes on the nuances of different ingredients and their effects on an almond purée without feeling like it’s at the expense of something more important to the overarching story. It’s a behemoth of a process to capture in a movie, and the narrative structure works very well in achieving its goal. Passion and skill combine to make the people in this film engaging to watch. We get to see Cesar Troisgros carry on his family’s legacy, and seeing this generational honor blend with his genuine fascination and expertise with food is something truly special. He surrounds himself with individuals who are knowledgeable about their fields of work, and it’s clear that they love what they do. This enthusiasm is what prevents this movie from dragging in places it otherwise would have. Even for someone like me who doesn’t partake in fine dining, this is an excellent group of people to watch and learn from.
The first two hours of this movie are absolutely engrossing and masterful, and it makes a strong case for being the best documentary of the year. However, in the latter half of the movie, there is an abrupt shift outside of the restaurant, as the story detours to the source of the restaurant’s wine and cheese. This tangent is relevant but not particularly necessary. It disrupts the ethereal momentum that the movie had built up, and it doesn’t ever fully recover from that. The movie still finishes strong, but it feels like there’s a 210-minute movie here that would have worked better. Menus – Plaisirs — Les Troisgros boasts a daunting runtime, but it flies by far faster than one would expect. Watching the people in this documentary do what they love never gets boring, and there are some almost mesmerizing sequences throughout the film that will make the most stubborn cynic of fine dining fall in love with the craft briefly. At the age of 93, Wiseman has made a movie that is mature yet energetic, and it’s a testament to his abilities as a filmmaker that a movie this strong feels almost effortless on his end. Menus – Plaisirs — Les Troisgros is in theaters November 22. Rating: 4/5

Review by Camden Ferrell Whether they started reading the comic book in 2003 or started watching the television adaptation in 2021, everybody agrees that Invincible subverts the genre in unique and violent ways. The two-year wait is over, and the show is finally returning for more bloody superhero hijinks. This second season continues to prove why it’s one of the most exciting shows on TV, and it will be a thrill for longtime fans of the comic as well as those experiencing the story for the first time. Omni-Man is no longer on Earth, and Mark needs to adjust to his new status quo. In addition to losing his father and dealing with the guilt of last season’s tragedy, Mark is ready to prove that he is not his dad all while dealing with regular teenage problems like girlfriends and graduating high school. This new season also brings the highly anticipated introduction of Angstrom Levy, an exciting new character that will bring a new dynamic to the series while giving Mark more problems to deal with. The writing of this show continues to be witty and enjoyable more than anything. It still retains the personality that Robert Kirkman had in his comic, but it does a great job of modifying interactions and polishing the dialogue and storytelling. This new season also juggles a lot more from a narrative standpoint, and at times it can feel like certain parts of the story are getting slightly neglected, but this doesn’t impact the quality since it doesn’t feel like a single second is wasted. One of the best parts of this adaptation is how amazing the voice actors were, and this season is no different. Steven Yeun returns as the titular hero, and he knocks it out of the park once again. Of the returning cast members, Sandra Oh stuns as Debbie, and she is given some emotionally heavy material where she gets a chance to shine. This season brings along countless new voice actors to be excited about, but Sterling K. Brown as Angstrom Levy is already one of the best castings they’ve had so far.
Like the first season, this newest season follows the original storyline very closely, so fans of the comic book series will likely see many things coming. However, this does not at all undermine how brilliantly violent and exciting these episodes are. Even as someone who has read the entire series, I found myself captivated by every episode as if I was experiencing this story for the first time. Those who are not familiar with the source material are in for many shocking and brutal moments that will have them itching for more. Invincible comes back with a bang in season two. It picks up swiftly with some killer action and superhero antics, but it also reflects a more mature and emotional side than it had last season. It’s a delight to watch these characters grow in their own unique ways, and one can only watch this season and be grateful that we get to see these crazy events animated beautifully for all to enjoy. Invincible premieres the first episode of season two on Amazon Prime on November 3 with the following 3 episodes releasing on subsequent Fridays with the remaining 4 to premiere in 2024. 4 of 8 episodes have been reviewed. Rating: 5/5 Review by Camden Ferrell Life inside of North Korea is a cruel yet enigmatic experience that most could not begin to comprehend. Their atrocities and indoctrination are things of horrifying infamy, but due to their isolated nature, there is still a troubling mystery around the lives of their citizens. Director Madeleine Gavin aims to pull back the curtain on these people as she documents several of their journeys as they attempt to defect from North Korea. This is an undeniably harrowing documentary that is one-of-a-kind and full of dramatic tension as well as profound and upsetting emotion. Seungeun Kim may appear to most as a mild-mannered Pastor, but he also spends his time aiding defectors in North Korea on their quest for freedom. This includes people like the Roh family who must travel through multiple countries to safety as well as Soyeon Lee, a defector in South Korea who is trying to get her son out of North Korea safely. These stories are told and balanced with insightful commentary and revolutionary secret never-before-seen footage from inside of North Korea. These are fascinating stories that highlight the struggles faced by North Korean citizens while also providing captivating insight from people who have spent their lives in isolation from the rest of the world. From a filmmaking standpoint, nobody can deny how well the narrative of this movie is crafted. It feels like something pulled out of a thriller movie. The anxiety and fear are present in the viewer as they watch the perilous quest out of North Korea, and Gavin excels in grounding the film, so audiences truly understand that these are real people who are under the all too real threat of death and torture for trying to seek freedom. The inherent empathy of this story’s realism is paramount to making this film work, and Gavin deeply understands this. The subjects of this film are able to maintain the audience’s attention in a gripping way from start to finish. Their own unique experiences are interesting to hear, and one must commend the subjects’ bravery in allowing themselves to be candid and vulnerable about their experiences in North Korea. Pastor Kim is a sympathetic and lovable person in this movie, and it’s easy to empathize with his mission and goals. It’s impossible to truly understand what they have been through, but their testimony is as close as one could ever hope to get to understanding.
Even in a movie filled with the nail-biting suspense of escaping from North Korea, the most harrowing aspect of this film was witnessing the effects of indoctrination on multiple generations of defectors. Growing up in a country completely cut off from the rest of the world and having a leader who is defied in every home can have a substantial impact on the way one views the world, their society, and themselves. This documentary gets first-hand accounts of these effects on young children and the elderly alike. It’s a brilliantly sad experience that is profound and heartbreaking and must be seen to be appreciated. There has never been a documentary like Beyond Utopia before. The footage captured within the borders of North Korea is fascinating, and the stories told through this film are powerful and essential viewing. Madeleine Gavin has constructed one of the best documentaries of 2023 and perhaps one of the most important ones ever made. This is a film that deserves to be seen even if it breaks your heart. Beyond Utopia is in theaters October 23. Rating: 4.5/5 THE PIGEON TUNNEL -- A Comprehensive but Not Completely Accessible Account of John le Carré's Life10/18/2023 Review by Camden Ferrell Errol Morris is an Oscar-winning filmmaker, and his solidified himself as a significant American storyteller. With films like The Thin Blue Line and The Fog of War, he has proven that he can craft a compelling narrative. His newest movie is about someone who also has experience with telling stories. The Pigeon Tunnel tells the story of John le Carré and while it’s very cinematic in nature and visually appealing, it may not be the most accessible to those only casually familiar with his work. John le Carré is a pen name associated with novels like The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. He was born David Cornwell and has lived a life as adventurous as one of his novels. Morris tells the story of his life and unique experiences in all corners of the world, and the audience gets to experience this life, intimately told to us from the man himself. It’s an accomplished and impressive life for just one man, and this is a story that many people may not know much about and is as interesting as it sounds. Despite it being a fascinating subject, the movie does feel a bit too rushed for its own good. Clocking in around ninety minutes, it feels like he has done so much in his life that it couldn’t possibly be covered in this brief runtime. Even though it does tell a cohesive life story, there are moments that feel rushed or omitted for the sake of time that make the story feel like it has the occasional missing piece. I think this is mostly done at the expense of people like me who knew next to nothing about le Carré coming into this film. le Carré does prove to be an entertaining subject. Even at his advanced age, he told his life story with lots of energy and eloquence. Even if some parts feel sluggish for other reasons, he still brings a lot of life into this film. It’s a blessing that he was able to film these interviews before his passing in 2020 because I can’t say the movie would work quite as well without his insight and narration.
One of the aspects I appreciated most about this movie was its cinematic nature. Morris helps tell his story using reenactments of scenes from le Carré’s life, and these are visually strong and give a distinct character to the film. There are some moments where the movie doesn’t work on a narrative level, but the cinematography ensures it still works on a superficial level if nothing else. However, despite all that work’s in this movie’s favor, it ultimately feels a little too inaccessible to those who are not already fans of the film’s subject. It tells a competent story, but it doesn’t do too much beyond that. The Pigeon Tunnel finds le Carré divulging an intimate account of his life prior to his death, and it’s competently made if nothing else. There are some great things happening with his narration, the cinematography, and Morris’ signature storytelling, but something just feels missing at times from the movie. It’s not bad by any means, but it’s not as innately captivating as I hoped it would be. The Pigeon Tunnel is streaming on Apple TV+ October 20. Rating: 3/5 Review by Camden Ferrell Rick and Morty has firmly established itself in pop culture with its unique brand of humor and storytelling since 2013. In recent months, it has definitely been the center of a lot of attention and not always for the right reasons. Co-creator and voice actor for the titular characters, Justin Roiland, has left the show due to personal and legal issues that I won’t get into here. Needless to say, this show is entering a new chapter, one that includes the loss of a previously pivotal individual. Despite this, the show still remains quite enjoyable and creative and the new voice actors are mostly indistinguishable from what fans are used to. After last season’s set of adventures, Rick and Morty are back to do more weird things. We know a little bit more about Rick Prime and our main Rick’s backstory, but as always, the show picks and chooses when to be serialized, so these first two episodes are isolated adventures. These episodes don’t feel like the show’s best, but they definitely don’t feel like the show’s worst either. Season six was admittedly the show’s weakest season ever by a long shot for me, so I was keeping my expectations in check. This season isn’t going to blow away fans or convert anybody to the show, but the writing is solid. It has some decent gags, and its fast-paced humor is still present. The jokes don’t always land super well, but it does succeed more than most adult animation shows do. The elephant in the room is the replacement of Roiland as the two main characters. Fans will be happy to hear that the voices are incredibly similar. There are a small number of lines that sound the slightest bit off, but it’s otherwise uncanny. Audiences likely would barely notice these changes if it wasn’t so publicized. The rest of the cast returns and gives solid performances as always, so that’s some consistency that fans might enjoy if they do have a problem with the new actors.
Just in these first two episodes, we see plenty of familiar faces as well as some new cameos. These returns and debuts of certain characters are the most enjoyable part of these episodes. Even though the show is called Rick and Morty, the recurring characters are some of the most enjoyable parts of the show, and it’s great to see them back. However, I do think the minimal interaction between Rick and Morty make the episodes feel slightly off in an indescribable way. The show works well when they’re together, and we’ve yet to see much of that so far. The seventh season of Rick and Morty is solid television even if it can’t hold a candle to the show’s peak. Thankfully, it shows some promise of what’s to come, and will hopefully be better than its previous season. Fans will enjoy these episodes and callbacks, but it won’t win over any new fans in the process. Rick and Morty premieres its first episode of season seven on October 15 with new episodes premiering on Sundays. Two out of ten episodes have been reviewed. Rating: 4/5 Review by Camden Ferrell The Sentinelese are a people located on a remote island in the Bay of Bengal. They are believed to have been almost entirely isolated from the rest of the world for over 60,000 years. They are a fascinating and enigmatic people and are focused on in The Mission, a new documentary from National Geographic. Directed by Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss, who won an Emmy for their previous film, Boys State, their new movie had its premiere at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival. This tale of a savior complex gone wrong is captivating on paper but doesn’t hold up as well in practice and fails to highlight some of the more interesting aspects of the story. John Allen Chau was an American missionary. He was a devout man who believed he had found his calling in spreading the word of God. Since the Sentinelese had been in isolation for tens of thousands of years, they are one of the few places on Earth where the existence of Jesus and Christianity is unknown. Chau takes it upon himself to spread the Gospel and fulfill his perceived purpose on this Earth. However, contacting a tribe in voluntarily isolation is as hard and ethically complicated as it sounds, and Chau learns this through his efforts. This is an interesting story and cautionary tale that could have been a profound and thought-provoking documentary if done right. From a purely narrative perspective, this movie succeeds. It tells its story in a clear manner and does a great job of making sure no stones are left unturned. You walk away feeling you understand all of the events that led up to Chau’s ill-fated journey and thanks to firsthand accounts from Chau’s diary (graciously approved by his family), the movie is able to provide some interesting insight into his mind during this period of his life. However, while the movie excels in delivering a clear-cut narrative, the same can’t be said for its exploration of the film’s more complicated themes and ideas. The movie never condones Chau’s actions. This fact I believe is most paramount to the understanding of this story, and the filmmakers understand that. The problem I have with its storytelling is it doesn’t always try and explain the dangers and ethical nightmare of religious colonization. What Chau believes is a noble calling from God, is no more than a deplorable attempt to satiate a savior complex through a voluntarily isolated tribe of indigenous people who could not care less about the alleged existence of his Messiah. While the film doesn’t support his mission, it also makes a notable attempt to turn Chau into a tragic and sympathetic character. While the untimely death of Chau was avoidable and a product of his own delusions, it’s a bit messy for the film to try and paint this in such a strangely sympathetic light as if he was an innocent person who died from a having a tragically ambitious and kind soul.
Despite the strange optics of everything, I can’t deny that on its surface, this is a well-made movie. It nicely balances footage of the Sentinelese people with talking heads of people in Chau’s life as well as narration of his diary. It’s a comprehensive set of resources for this story, and the movie does a skillful job of utilizing all of it properly. Unfortunately, the aforementioned problems undermine what could have been an otherwise informative and entertaining documentary. The Mission is worth watching for those who are interested in Chau’s story or the enigmatic Sentinelese people. While it does have some interesting insights into the beliefs and mindset of tribes in voluntary isolation, it also spends far too much time trying to make Chau a sympathetic and innocent character. It doesn’t grapple with the complex ideas surrounding colonization like it could have, and this makes the documentary feel quite shallow at times. The Mission is in theaters October 13. Rating: 3/5 Review by Camden Ferrell Demián Rugna is no stranger to the horror genre, and his new film, When Evil Lurks, is his fifth feature film as a solo director. This movie had its premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival. It may be a bit uneven at times, but this is a horror movie that thrives off of its shock value and body horror. Pedro and Jimmy are brothers in Argentina who discover a demonic infection in a nearby farmhouse. Aiming to save the livestock that have been poisoned by proximity, the brothers attempt to expel the demon from their land. Unfortunately, their efforts go awry and unleash an epidemic of demonic possessions on their community. Chaos ensues as the brothers try and find a way to properly get rid of the demon. This may feel like a standard possession movie at its core, but there are some twists that allow the movie to feel subversive at times. Written by Rugna, the script for the movie is decent but nothing miraculous. As mentioned before, it succeeds in subverting expectations and making interesting narrative choices, especially with its most brutal possession scenes. However, the in-between moments lack the same engaging quality. The dialogue is passable, and there’s an abundance of rules and lore that bog the film down significantly. The acting in this movie is fairly strong, especially from its two leads. Ezequiel Rodríguez and Demián Salomón lead the movie as the two brothers, and they do a great job. They’re enjoyable leads to watch, and they fit well within the movie’s environment and genre. The rest of the supporting cast also fits well within the world of the movie, but they aren’t given nearly as much to work with as its leads.
Where this movie falls short in continuously engaging writing, it more than makes up for it with its shock value. This movie’s possessions aren’t like most in popular media. It’s full of body horror that is as grotesque as it is shocking. And even when it’s not showing this imagery, the movie will still surprise viewers with its unpredictable and graphic violence. It helps the movie feel fresh and compensate for the occasional lulls in its pace. When Evil Lurks is not without its flaws, but it will still succeed in surprising even the most seasoned horror audiences. It’s shocking and scary when it needs to be, and this gives it some leeway regarding its less than stellar moments throughout. Fans of the genre will surely find something to love in this Argentinian film, and even general audiences might get a kick out of this movie’s shock value. When Evil Lurks is in theaters October 6. Rating: 3.5/5 Review by Camden Ferrell She Came to Me is the first movie from writer and director Rebecca Miller since 2015’s Maggie’s Plan. It was the opening film at the 2023 Berlin International Film Festival. Despite a few great moments, this movie is a romantic comedy that is unconventional and equally convoluted. Multiple plot lines are juggled messily that the central story often feels ignored and underdeveloped. Steven is a renowned composer suffering from writer’s block. In an attempt to overcome this obstacle, he has an isolated sexual encounter with the eccentric Katrina. This ultimately reignites his creative passion, but things get complicated very quickly for him and his personal life. Juggling a wife who is searching for herself in her own way and a stepson engaged in a significant young romance, Steven must reexplore his understanding of love and what he wants from his life. This is a premise that sounds interesting but on paper already has a few different plot lines that would have been difficult to balance flawlessly. The writing is inconsistent throughout the movie. Some scenes will be written profoundly and naturally while others feel incredibly forced and out of place. The main storyline of Steven and Katrina’s relationship is the highlight of the film. The dialogue feels thoughtful without being pretentious, and I wish we got more of it from this movie. The two plot lines involving his wife and stepson pale in comparison. On their own, they might not be awful, but they feel strange when intercut with the main story. The acting in this movie is also inconsistent. Peter Dinklage is quite great playing a troubled and emotionally confused Steven. He plays well off of Marisa Tomei as Katrina, and she is enjoyable to see throughout as well. His chemistry with his wife played by Anne Hathaway is missing, and it’s hard to buy into their relationship in the movie. The movie features a supporting cast that is mostly forgettable and don’t do much to elevate the scenes that they’re in.
The main problem with this movie is how it tries to balance its multiple storylines. It loses focus of its central story and romance, and this also leads to some truly strange pacing. It feels like roughly half of the movie is spent on the main story. Less interesting stories and characters are given a strangely high amount of screen time, and by the end, you feel like nothing had developed properly. The movie also doesn’t really land in the comedy department either. It does feel like some of these ideas should have been cut in order to let the most interesting main story flourish more and to allow the comedy to be more fleshed out. Despite the problems I had with the movie, there are still some great things happening especially when it comes to the musical aspects of the movie. However, this is a movie that probably won’t work for some audiences. It’s daring in its execution, but it’s a swing and a miss more than it’s not. Dinklage and Tomei are interesting to watch, but the movie’s convolution ultimately ruins this experience. She Came to Me is in theaters October 6. Rating: 2.5/5 Review by Camden Ferrell Based on the comic book series of the same name, Amazon’s The Boys has become a megahit with audiences in its three seasons so far. While fans anxiously await the show’s fourth season, we are getting a glimpse into the other corners of this world they’ve created. Gen V is the first live-action spinoff of The Boys, and even if it’s not nearly as captivating, this is still an enjoyable show with plenty of blood, shock-value, and NSFW moments. This spinoff follows the lives of young heroes at Godolkin University (aka “God U”). These are the first generation of supes who know that their powers are derived from Compound V, and it’s a glimpse at a side of the world that hasn’t been explored before. This show primarily follows Marie as she navigates her freshman year at God U. There’s drinking and partying like at all other colleges, but this school isn’t like most. These kids have a wide range of powers and are vying for the chance to be ranked Top 10 which can hopefully give them a chance to rub elbows with some of our favorite characters from The Boys. The show’s writing retains the signature vulgarity of its source material but doesn’t manage to capture its charm and wit. It’s laced with profanities but sometimes lacks the clever punch that made The Boys work so well. It also doesn’t have the benefit of feeding off the same commentary it had. Yes, it still occasionally explores the corruption of the superhero industry, but this isn’t the focus. It mainly focuses on a college girl and a crazy conspiracy she gets wrapped up in as she tries to survive and thrive in school. It’s still a fun story, but it isn’t nearly as sharp as one would hope for a show of this caliber. All of the performances in the show are solid, but none of them really stand out. Jaz Sinclair leads the show as Marie, and she is an enjoyable actress to watch if nothing else. She has a handful of effective moments due to the character’s troubled past that are fun to watch. She’s supported by a large cast who all do well in their respective roles. Lizze Broadway is enjoyable as Emma, and the show does take advantage of using her shrinking abilities to grotesque and shocking effect at times. I do want to point out the somewhat impressive role of Jordan Li which is played by both London Thor and Derek Luh. These two seamlessly feel like a single individual with subtle differences that always make them interesting to see in the show.
Despite its flaws, nobody can accuse this show of being tame. It is full of blood and guts which audiences are probably expecting at this point. Even if you’re preparing for the worst, there are some moments in the show that will still manage to shock you. There are scenes that are wincingly grotesque that can even rival moments from The Boys. When its story and central mystery may leave you wanting more, you can always rely on the shock factor to keep you entertained. Gen V is an enjoyable spinoff if nothing else. It’s a decent appetizer to get you ready for the next season of The Boys, but it certainly won’t live up to its standard. It’s interesting to see this side of the world, and there are plenty of cameos that are great to see play out as well. This might not end up being one of your favorite shows, but for fans of this superhero universe, it’s worth watching. Gen V premieres its first 3 episodes on September 29 with new episodes coming out on subsequent Fridays. Six out of eight episodes have been reviewed. Rating: 3.5/5 Review by Camden Ferrell The documentary, 26.2 to Life, begins with a quote from Lao Tzu. “The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.” This perfectly sums up the thesis of this movie. Having its premiere at the 2022 Doc NYC Film Festival, this is the feature documentary debut from director Christine Yoo. Either too long or not dense enough, this is still an inspiring story of redemption, freedom, and perseverance that thrives in its exploration of humanity. San Quentin is California’s oldest prison, and it’s also home to a 1000 Mile Club, a volunteer-led running group that trains inmates for their annual marathon. This movie mostly follows three men’s stories. We learn about their background and what got them in prison as well as their own personal growth since their incarceration and how running has impacted their lives. Even people who haven’t been incarcerated will find something to relate to and connect with through these unique stories since these are not simply stories about inmates but about unique and human individuals. The film’s three main subjects are Markelle, Tommy, and Rahsaan. Each of these men have a captivating and emotional story to share, and they all serve different purposes. Markelle’s story is a harrowing account of the abuse-to-prison pipeline. Tommy speaks to the devastating effects of racism and gang activity. And Rahsaan shows the power one’s voice and writing have on the world even when behind bars. While their backgrounds are different, their stories all converge as they train for this marathon. It’s interesting to see how training for this marathon serves a different purpose for each of them personally and helps them achieve their own definitions of redemption and freedom. All of the subjects are enjoyable to see on screen. They are all intimate in their interviews and candid with the audience. I don’t think this documentary would work if they didn’t allow themselves to be vulnerable. By letting the audience in on the details of their troubled pasts, it gives them a unique opportunity to connect and empathize with individuals they might not have known otherwise.
My main qualm with the movie comes down to two things. It’s either too long or not dense enough with content. It’s already a short movie, but there are sections that feel less engaging, and I think the movie would have benefitted from more screen time for the subjects’ testimonies. However, if this is all they can get from the three subjects, it might have been worth making the movie denser with additional inmates or more details about the actual mechanics of running a marathon. The movie mentions how much of an athletic accomplishment running a marathon is, but the movie could have benefitted from more detail to illustrate to audiences how great of an accomplishment it truly is especially in the conditions of San Quentin. 26.2 to Life is a solid documentary about a unique running club in one of California’s most storied prisons. It features some great content from its main subjects who are each fighting their own personal battles. It was great to see Yoo explore the universal and human aspects of their stories and treat them as equals and not as second-class citizens. You don’t typically think of marathons as a path towards redemption and freedom, but these men might make you see it differently. 26.2 to Life is in theaters September 22. Rating: 3.5/5 |
