Plus One (2019)
Plus One is a Ten
How many times have you been invited to a wedding, "and Guest". Too many, I say. Now as a septuagenarian I'm still receiving these invitations. It's awful. But like it or not the films two leads are determined to rework the wedding season ritual and up the ante on the "and Guest" or "+ one". I was delighted by the matter of fact approach and irreverence for weddings having endured my own. Thought the script was well written. The humor quite solid and the references sometimes over the top and unexpectedly funny ...ie. Boom Laka laka boom laka laka. ..notwithstanding.. as romcoms go this was by far a seemingly casual yet well crafted, loving performance by two genuine comedic leads.
Come le tartarughe (2022)
Delightful family intrigue
As a child of divorced parents in the 1950's, I would have liked to see my mother or father, even, react with such demonstrative force! It was truly a present day dilemma and one that I relished as a child of marital catastrophe. The interplay of mother and daughter is so refreshing and uncommon at the same time. Our heroine, la mama, stays true to her purpose which is, I believe, to effectively excoriate the Papa. The children have already banished him since he is not always present. Do we really care if he had a girlfriend? I think not, we only care if la mama comes out of the closet and begins again.
