#SentimentalValue is a new Norwegian comedy/drama about family, art and reconciliation. It’s also one of the slyer commentaries on show biz this year. Read my review of this awards contender now at TheEstablishingShot.org.

The new KNIVES OUT sequel is a twisty whodunnit entitled #WakeUpDeadMan and it’s a lot of fun. It also holds some clever surprises in regard to who the central character is this time, as well as how it regards the Church. Find out more in my latest review at TheEstablishingShot.org.
