Movie Haiku: | Cautionary tale about conflicting agendas in contemporary America. SPLIT DECISION: We agree about Kingsley’s character (& superlative performance). We disagree about Connelly. Rich says: depressed/desperate. Jan says: spoiled/malevolent. Rich finds their tragedies balanced. Jan’s empathy is for the immigrant family, finding them the victims in this tug-of-war over “the house.” |
