Official Secrets (2019)
Terrific, terrifying review of events muddles by American disinformation
Though the news covered the disinformation spread by the U.S., that coverage came very late for people to understand what actually happened and even a person well-informed on the news is generally not sure of the actual events, so it was incredibly informative to see this.
This is a really important film that reminds us how long disinformation and coverup has been going on in the U.S. and how important the press is. Sadly, our electorate is being dumbed down more and more every year. Sad too that this film isn't getting the audience it deserves but one hopes that it gets more play far beyond its cinematic release.
Richard Jewell (2019)
Great story pointlessly embellished- a perversion of cinema
What is the deal with the completely fabricated sidestory about the female reporter trading sex for information?
Pathetic that Clintwood had to resort to a prurient distraction from what should have been a great story about the perversion of journalism.
Mosaic (2018)
Tension and drama build with each episode
This was a huge surprise; I had started watching inattentively, letting three recorded episodes play while I made party preparations. Somewhere along the line it occurred to me I should start over and pay attention.
The structure is clever, which you won't notice until you're 2/3 of the way through, and you won't realize how incredible the acting is until you figure things out a bit.
Devin Ratray's performance, initially very understated, BLEW MY MIND. The ensemble acting crackles and snaps. And the story just works.
The subject material, about a rich cougar and the inevitable hang-abouts, could put people off but I know the sea- and ski crowd and this is an exceedingly accurate portrayal.
