Nomadland (2020)

Image
Nomadland is a tour de force by McDormand. It's also a bleak indictment of our times (American capitalism), a deep reflection on the meaning of life, and a really sad psychological mystery.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9770150/

The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (2021)

Absolutely loved this film, which is a tearjerker in the end -- but this requires patience. A poignant remake of the groundhog day theme. Kathryn Newton and Kyle Allen are both headed for brilliant careers. My fav film so far in 2021.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11080108/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

The Wedding Singer (1998)

  This is the quintessential 80s movie. Arguably one of Sandler's best roles. I'd forgotten that he had two romantic leads with Barrymore, the second with 50 First Dates. She was terrific here as well. The soundtrack was phenomenal. What a fun, uplifting film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120888/
