A Star is Born | 2018 | A worthy remake that grew on me as it went. Both lead roles were played very well and the songs were good, but I didn't buy some of the emotional bits and the British manager was just awful. | Gordon | 7 |

Can You Ever Forgive Me? | 2018 | True story of a down on her luck author who forges literary correspondence to make ends meet. I can't agree with Oscar nominations for McCarthy or Grant, but it is a nice film that has enough humour without becoming the kind of farce both are usually in. | Gordon | 7 |

Roma | 2018 | The deliberately mundane story of a house maid. I was struggling to see what the critics had seen in the film until a scene that singularly blew me away (waves). It was so wonderfully shot and acted that I fully welled up at the beauty and horror of it. | Gordon | 7 |

The Favourite | 2018 | A quirky period tale of two cousins fighting for the attentions of the Queen. Coleman and Stone are superb and the direction inventive, but the story sags quite heavily before a polarising end. | Gordon | 8 |

The Wife | 2017 | Great performance from Glen Close and an interesting tale of the woman behind the man being far more than meets the eye. | Gordon | 8 |
