 THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI |  THE BREADWINNER |
THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI ★★★½☆
D: Martin McDonagh (Seven Psychopaths, In Bruges).
S: Frances McDormand, Peter Dinklage, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Caleb Landry Jones, Abbie Cornish, John Hawkes, Clarke Peters, Kerry Condon.
Rarely reaches the heightened dramatic excellence of, say, MANCHESTER BY THE SEA. A little disappointing.
THE BREADWINNER ★★★½☆
D: Nora Twomey (The Secret of Kells).
S: Saara Chaudry, Laara Sadiq, Shaista Latif, Ali Badshah, Noorin Gulamgaus, Kawa Ada.
Did not need story within story. Main thread strong enough. An absorbing, political animation.
BAD GENIUS ★★★½☆
D: Nattawut Poonpiriya.
S: Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying, Eisaya Hosuwan, Teeradon Supapunpinyo, Chanin Santinatornkul.
Conservative conclusion derails otherwise exhilarating thriller. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE at a high school.
JAILBREAK ★★★☆☆
D: Jimmy Henderson.
S: Jean-Paul Ly, Dara Our, Tharoth Sam, Celine Tran, Dara Phang, Sisowath Siriwudd, Savin Phillip.
C-movie dialogue.
B-movie acting.
A-movie fight choreography.
