Though an emotional roller-coaster ride, this true story of
a Pakistandup comedian is so honest and endearing that it delivers big feelings
without inducing sickness. Her alliterative parents and his fantastic foreign
family provide perfect support to stellar leads and ensure that film about
comedic belief stands up and out.

Murder on the Orient Express
Only one culprit in the murder of a movie made attractive by
first-class cast, cleverly contained coverage and a talented hair &
mustache department; the script. Less whodunit and more whocares, once the plot
is set in locomotion, it’s promptly derailed by an avalanche of artificial
action and useless clues.

Derek Jacobi,

Gerald's Game
Ironically, what starts as a film about the need to broaden
horizons, expands into proof that sometime restrictions result in quality, as
the film falls out of focus once the cuffs come off. Clever cinematography and
blocking keep the headboard from boredom, but a mediocre third act eclipses excellent
intro.
Actors & Director:
Bruce Greenwood,
Carla Gugino,
Mike Flanagan
