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.

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.

Book – **** Swedish thriller by Joakim Zander that paints that paints a realistic tale of power brokers and the lengths they will go to control their secrets. A fast-paced quick read.

Book – ***+ Fantastic post-apocalyptic world where a satellite maintains a habitual zone about the equator and adepts are trained to control earthquake-like powers.

Once again, I watched Dave and enjoyed every minute. Few movies bear repeated viewing, but Dave is one of them. Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver got it just right and brought a fun script to life. I will post six stars in the future for movies that deliver their magic…
