Review: Wrath of Man and Together Together

Is toxic masculinity ruining all the stakes in action movies? Jason Statham seems dead set on proving that in Wrath of Man. Meanwhile, Together Together explores single-dom in an unexpected and refreshing way.

More about Wrath of Man:

More about Together Together:

When Matt, a single 45-year-old app developer living in San Francisco, decides he wants a child of his own, he hires 26-year-old barista Anna to be his gestational surrogate. A loner by nature, Anna respects Matt’s unconventional parenting choice and finds his sweet-natured excitement at the prospect of fatherhood endearing, if a little over the top at times. Whether he’s surprising her at work with a thermos of pregnancy tea and a pair of arch-supporting clogs, or turning up at her apartment at inopportune moments, Matt clearly needs some work on boundaries. But while Anna is keenly aware that surrogates and parents agree to maintain distance for a reason, she nonetheless finds herself becoming emotionally invested in their budding friendship.

Starring: Ed Helms, Patti Harrison, Tig Notaro, Julio Torres, Anna Konkle, Evan Jonigkeit, Sufe Bradshaw, Fred Melamed, Nora Dunn, and Rosalind Chao
