When I saw the film, most if the audience (including me) was laughing at some of the violent scenes -- scenes not intended to be for laughs. I kind of wish the movie were made by John Waters.

Red, White & Royal Blue 2023
One of the reviewers here gave this movie a four-star rating and said it lost a star because of Uma Thurman's southern accent. The hilarious accent added a star to my review of it. For a take on why bad accents are okay, see www.nytimes.com/2023/08/18/movies/uma-thurman-red-white-royal-blue-accent.html .

The Lost Daughter 2021
I have a question, particularly for people (like myself) who are from first- and second-generation ethnic-American families living in NYC's outer boroughs: Didn't the family seem more Italian-American than Greek-American?
With my nit-picky question out of the way, there was a lot of great acting in this film, particularly by Olivia Coleman and Jessie Buckley who so believably play the same complicated character at different ages. It's great that the director, Maggie Gylenhaal, decided not to rely on make-up and prosthetics to transform an actor to look 20-years older or younger.

I Want Your Love 2012
I found the characters of this film so uninteresting or, in the case of the lead character, so unlikable. Watching them have sex didn't do anything to make them more appealing.
