Major is good, but Glenn Powell It also balances all aspects of the story in a very satisfying way. JD Dillard About the movie here, and Majors himself here, and both conversations are worth checking out.this is what i said in my dedication Review at the Toronto International Film Festival:
in another life, dedication is the type of movie that plays all the time on cable, making it a favorite movie of your fathers, grandfathers, and uncles. Its approach is so old school that you can’t help but feel familiar with it.That said, flicks can definitely be effective and can make these qualities positive rather than negative. Top Gun: Maverick, but I’m not trying to replicate it. Performed at the Toronto International Film Festival dedication There is more than enough to offer to warrant a recommendation.

dedication It flies down a well-worn path, but there’s always a sense that it’s honoring the past rather than restricting creativity in some way. . Even military biographies all have comfort food qualities.It’s not Oscar-worthy play, but it’s definitely a quality movie.

2 films by Marguerite Duras
From the Criterion Collection: “Marguerite Duras is already at the forefront of an equally fascinating and unclassifiable film career, bringing her elliptical and experimental style to the screen through an unprecedented hypnotic fusion. He established himself as one of the leading figures in post-war French literature: highly stylized imagery and radically detached sound, boldly rethinking the possibilities of dialogue, music, silence and architectural space. , evoking, like a sphinx, the female malaise in the depths of the soul, whetting the appetite. indian song and Baxter, Vera Baxter Each one embodies Duras’ unique multi-sensory approach, opening up new spaces to express a woman’s inner world. “
