Critics Corner

We will have our next Critics Corner meeting on Friday, September 6, at 7:00 PM, at the home of Lorraine Jacobi.

The following movies will be discussed and then rated:

The Boys In the Boat: A sports drama based on the #1 New York Times bestselling non-fiction novel written by Daniel James Brown. The film, directed by George Clooney, is about the 1936 University of Washington rowing team that competed for gold in the Summer Olympics in Berlin. This inspirational true story follows a group of underdogs at the height of the Great Depression as they are thrust into the spotlight and take on elite rivals from around the world. Available to purchase on Amazon Prime or Apple TV.

Let Him Go: A 2020 American neo-western thriller film starring Diane Lane and Kevin Costner. Based on the 2013 novel of the same name written by Larry Watson. The film follows a retired sheriff and his wife who try to rescue their grandson from a dangerous family living off-the-grid. Available to purchase on Amazon Prime and Apple TV or with a subscription to Peacock or HULU.

If you enjoy going to the movies and love an opportunity to discuss the movie with other movie enthusiasts, then you should consider joining Critics’ Corner. We meet at a member’s house. After socializing over appetizers and some drinks, we then discuss and rate the two movies, which we will have already seen on our own. Each attendee brings either an appetizer or dessert and contributes $5 when they arrive to cover the cost of the drinks. Spouses/Significant others welcome!

Please email Lorraine Jacobi if you would like to participate.
