Movie Reviews

Even as he was dying of cancer, Minnesota teen Zach Sobiech became a YouTube singing sensation in 2013 with the song from which the movie takes its title.

Aaron Sorkin brings his talents to bear as the writer and director of the fact-based drama “The Trial of the Chicago 7” (Netflix).

British author Daphne du Maurier’s bestselling 1938 gothic novel “Rebecca” has been dramatized multiple times over the years, most memorably in the 1940 movie starring Joan Fontaine and Laurence Olivier.

The title may be an oxymoron, but there’s nothing paradoxical about “Honest Thief” (Open Road); it’s a solid, entertaining action thriller.

Humor goes AWOL during “The War With Grandpa” (101 Studios).

“Yellow Rose” (Sony) is meant to be an inspiring immigrant’s saga with a particular appeal to teen girls.

This “moving documentary lucidly chronicles its subject’s life and feels imbued with his warm and fervent spirit.”

“Kajillionaire” (Focus) is a barren comedy mostly populated by unsympathetic characters whose eccentricities are more obnoxious than endearing and resting on underlying ideas about life and death that cannot be harmonized with revealed truth.
