Based on the true story of Megan Leavey and her dog Rex. This movie tugged at every heart string. I sat rapt for the entire two hours. I didn’t know what the movie was about or where it was going, but that didn’t matter. Like reading a good book, I enjoyed a good story, the entire ensemble provided perfect performances. Wow, because not a movie I would have picked myself.
With a young Hugh Grant, Maurice, adapted from a novel by E.M. Forster about Gay love at the turn of the 20th century. How far we have come. What a heartbreaking and thought provoking tale.

An emotional nightmare. What a story and depicted to pull at every emotion. Thanks to Jessica Chastain for producing this necessary movie tho wasn’t taken in by her in the least. It was the story that was the star here, and what a heart-wrentching story it was. I’m not sure I took a single breathe from beginning to end.

I wish i could say I loved it as it deserved to be loved but I thought it dragged.It was introduced as romantic, funny and uplifting, i didn’t find it any of those. Amusing, a few interesting moments looking into the home of an observant Israeli woman, but not going to show up on my must see list.
Richard Gere was at his best in American Gigilo. No matter what he does after he will always be that gigilo perfection. Norman was no American Gigilo but I was able to pretend and enjoy. It certainly isn’t a movie I would encourage you to see if you only have time for 1 or 2 movies, but it was a good story. I was wrapped up in Normans world, aching for his pain and wishing for his triumph. Did I mention Richard Gere.
If you, like I , enjoy foreign films, and are accustomed to reading subtitles, use this skill in this movie. Tho the subject is a good one, the Armenian genocide, the dialogue and complete lack of acting ability on the part of two of the three leads makes it almost impossible not to walk out of the theater – so I pretended I was reading the words rather than listening to the forced, unrealistic, and poorly acted script. The scenery was beautiful, the costumes at times breathtaking, but thats all the good I can muster.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was a bit long but the story was good and i liked the characters. Plot: London , during the Blitz, there is the making of a propaganda film. I don’t want to say more.

I loved it, It is the reason I go to films, foreign films. It was about something, something human. It was a slice of life that made me think.
