Review: Papillon

Henri Charrière’s story may not be altogether truthful. But so what?

Quick Take: The Curse of La Llorona

A few shocks deliver, but not enough to stand out.

One learned never to underestimate her. Persona (1966) became perhaps her most brilliant effort.

It’s a journey to misery and heartbreak, but a compelling one.

A welcome look at everyday life in Baghdad, but its attempts at creating suspense over every snag are unconvincing.

There is an edge to the film, but above all it’s an excellent, elegant example of screwball comedy at its finest.

Fans of this ”mother of the French New Wave” will be in awe of her sympathetic, intelligent presence.

A fitfully interesting story that suffers from a bloated running time and lackluster treatment.
