Television Review: The Staircase
In the HBOMax original series, The Staircase, starring Colin Firth and Toni Collette, the most important aspect is that it is based on real events.

Film Review: Gravity
Hold your breath… Gravity is a fabulous ride of infinite, weightless space, made ethereally beautiful by Alfonso Cuarón’s moment-to-moment direction of Sandra Bullock’s flawless performance.
