Take Me to the River Review
True family dysfunction on display and there’s plenty of tension, but some of the characters behave in a way that defies logic, even with the very odd circumstances.

Documentary explains how the political process has been corrupted by the right-wing through media manipulation. You already know your opinion of this film.
An enchanting Japanese tale about red bean paste that’s really about life.
A lovely woman who thinks she can sing like a champ, can’t. Sometimes funny. Sometimes dramatic. Never quite enough of either.
This surprise, kind-of sequel is a better film than the original and is absolutely riveting most of the time.
Monty Python alumnus Terry Jones has made a partly animated, partially funny evaluation of how economics works.
A dark family secret rises to the surface in this serviceable but unremarkable semi-thriller.
A young woman makes some questionable decisions that thrust her into a bungling criminal enterprise. Flawed but fun.
This rinse-and-repeat follow-up is the same movie in a different location.
Tina Fey is excellent in a movie that can’t quite keep up with its star.
