Walk With Me Review – Keep in mind
They’re making a big deal of the fact that this documentary be narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch. He’s in the trailer, he gets the main on end credit, he doesn’t deserve this.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Review – Cards Against Cinema
So much of the time Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri feels great. Then one of its black characters enters a scene.
