The Worst Person in the World (2021) Wendy Shreve Foremost, Renate Reinsve as Julie captivates. Her emotions run the gamut which Reinsve handles with aplomb. Her malleable face, natural beauty never becomes tedious. An accomplishment in a movie which runs over two hours.

Grey's Inbetween (2009) Wendy Shreve The actress, Natasha Bain, balances Jane's torment and periods of joy with ease. To carry a movie as well as insert her commentary without droning on, requires talent. Bain has that. The viewer wants her life to matter, for Jane to find her way.

The Hating Game (2021) Wendy Shreve The two attractive leads, Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, keep the suspense going. They also have very good comedic timing. Chemistry in a rom-com must be palpable for the story to have any entertainment value--it does.

Soulmates (2021) Wendy Shreve But the movie belongs on the Hallmark Channel, not on the big screen. The cliched dialogue, formulaic set-up and resolution, as well as the largely underwhelming performances diminish the possibility for a more substantial story.

Dune (2021) Wendy Shreve Considerable criticism has been thrown at the 1984 predecessor to this version and its director, David Lynch. But by the end of Dune (2021), I wanted to rewatch and savor the (extended) forerunner. Lynch's film adaption is much more fun.
