Equal parts history lesson and current events commentary,
this President’s Men (and Women) prequel delivers a good lead but fails to
follow it up compellingly. Hanks and Streep easily traverse their tiny
character arcs, while lesser roles are occupied by TV regulars, all on a quest
to break something bad.

Lady Bird
Genuine, heartfelt and Gretty, Lady Bird soars on updrafts

performances keep this meandering slice of life from overflowing its banks. A
misplaced bet on Hedges, family that never Letts go and a play-making drama
teacher make the mundane wonderful.
