Review: Malcolm & Marie, Bliss, and Earwig and the Witch
Zendaya shows off her Ácting skills in Malcolm & Marie but does the movie live up to her talents? Bliss is far from delightful, and Earwig and the Witch lacks the spellbinding charm normally found in Studio Ghibli films.
More about Malcolm & Marie:
Writer/Director Sam Levinson teams up with Zendaya and John David Washington for an achingly romantic drama in which a filmmaker (Washington) and his girlfriend (Zendaya) return home following a celebratory movie premiere as he awaits what’s sure to be imminent critical and financial success. The evening suddenly takes a turn as revelations about their relationships begin to surface, testing the strength of their love.
Starring: Zendaya and John David Washington
More about Bliss:
Bliss is a mind-bending love story following Greg who, after recently being divorced and then fired, meets the mysterious Isabel, a woman living on the streets and convinced that the polluted, broken world around them is just a computer simulation. Doubtful at first, Greg eventually discovers there may be some truth to Isabel’s wild conspiracy.
Starring: Salma Hayek, Owen Wilson, Madeline Zima, Ronny Chieng, and Bill Nye.
More about Earwig and the Witch:
Growing up in an orphanage in the British countryside, Earwig has no idea that her mother had magical powers. Her life changes dramatically when a strange couple takes her in, and she is forced to live with a selfish witch. As the headstrong young girl sets out to uncover the secrets of her new guardians, she discovers a world of spells and potions, and a mysterious song that may be the key to finding the family she has always wanted.
Starring: Richard E Grant, Kacey Musgraves, and Dan Stevens.
