Jason Matthews top-notch spy thriller of Russian and American operatives recruiting each other under the watchful eyes of their KGB and CIA bosses. The damaged Russian ballerina of the title was particularly well drawn as the main protagonist.

Very good adaptation of the book. I even believed in Jennifer Lawrence as a prima ballerina. Difficult subject matter was handled better than in most such films.

Unusual heist movie sold by Ansel Elgort and Kevin Spacey.

Movie ****+ The Oscar-nominated Short Films 2018: Live Action (2018)

Excellent collection of short films. All these films were worth watching, but although The Silent Child won, my favorite was Watu Wote/All of Us which showed the crippling effects of religious intolerance and the simple power of people bonding with each other in spite of their different backgrounds and surroundings.
