http://speaksinmovielines.blogspot.com/2015/07/on-home-video-xavier-dolans-mommy.html
Speaks in Movie Lines. An Everyman's Musings on The Movies. Friday, July 24, 2015. On Home Video: Xavier Dolan's Mommy. 9733;★★ 1/2. A Review by Kevin Powers. As the credits rolled behind the last shot of Xavier Dolan's 2014 film Mommy. Why did we have to be told directly what's going to happen? Is filled with massive moments of cinematic perfection, most often in a small boxed-in frame. Dolan's also criticized decision, with cinematographer André Turpin, to shoot this film in that 1:1 aspect ratio w...

I have not watched her show, Comedy Central's Inside Amy Schumer. The film opens with a flashback, Amy and her little sister, Kim, sit with their dolls whil...

Speaks in Movie Lines. An Everyman's Musings on The Movies. Monday, August 10, 2015. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. And also in the vein of Scorsese, there is his ability to put together a needle drop soundtrack of our innermost memories in rapid succession underneath, over-the-top, and everywhere, sometimes without us even noticing.
