two movies of note this week:
Doubt - 7.5/10 - A very good film with fine performances. Meryl Streep is amazing as always. And no, I don't think she was a monster. (
) Her frailties were too close to the surface for that.
The Visitor - 8/10 - I really enjoyed this poignant (if a little message-y) story about the way we treat illegal immigrants in post-9/11 America. With the added bonus of watching the very real and well-depicted journey to spiritual freedom of a good man locked down in an emotionally stunted prison of his own making for too long.
