Day Two Done...Day Three on the Way... / Sunday TBAs / And a Note...

DAY TWO DONE...

Got into Uncut Gems, The Report and Waves on Saturday...

My favorite film of the day turned out to be Uncut Gems...which shocks me a bit as I have never been a big Adam Sandler fan.  But credit due....Sandler is great in the Safdie Brothers film. 

The Report worked well enough for me.  It's a sturdy and competently made reveal of how willing the  U.S. was to torture in the wake of 9-11.

Waves is an earnest but overly long exploration of the potential destruction of a family.



DAY THREE ON THE WAY...

I know we're going to try to do Motherless Brooklyn on Sunday morning...and then Marriage Story on Sunday night.  Between the two...I don't know.
