Review
The Two Popes (12): Fantastic performances from two old acting pros.
One Mann’s Movies Review of “The Two Popes” (2019). Another quality Netflix production, of particular interest to older viewers who like a quieter, dramatic movie. 4/5.
The Irishman (15): An endurance test, but a great endurance test.
One Mann’s Movies Film Review: The Irishman (2019). A three and a half hour journey through a hit-man’s life with a triumvirate of powerful performances from De Niro, Pesci and Pacino. 4.5/5.
Jojo Rabbit (12): Don’t be stupid, be a smarty.
One Mann’s Movies Film Review of Jojo Rabbit (2020). A well-crafted lampooning through satire of anti-semitism, but one which, for me, weakened its argument with too much slapstick. FFFF
1917 (15): A far from relaxing evening at the movies.
One Mann’s Movies Film Review of the epic war film by Sam Mendes – 1917. Visceral and a stressful watch but gets 5/5 from me.
