Critics Corner

We will have our next Critics Corner meeting on Friday, January 24, at 7:00 PM, at the home of Anne and Howard Palmer.

The following two movies will be discussed and then rated:

 Conclave - Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events- participating in the selection of a new Pope. Surrounded by powerful religious leaders in the halls of the Vatican, he soon uncovers a trail of deep secrets that could shake the very foundation of the Roman Catholic Church. The movie is based on the novel by Robert Harris. Available on Amazon Prime or Apple TV.

Nickel Boys - Elwood Curtis’ college dreams are shattered when he’s sentenced to Nickel Academy, a brutal reformatory in the Jim Crow south. Clinging to his optimistic world view, Elwood strikes up a friendship with Turner, a fellow black teen who dispenses fundamental tips for survival. The movie is based on a true story by Colson Whitehead which won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 2017. Available on Amazon Prime or Netflix

Event Details:

• Each attendee is asked to bring either an appetizer or dessert.
• A $5 contribution per person will be collected to cover the cost of drinks.

If you enjoy watching movies and love discussing them with fellow enthusiasts, Critics' Corner is for you! We gather at a member’s home, socialize over appetizers and drinks, and then engage in a lively discussion and rating of two movies that we’ve watched beforehand.

Please email Lorraine Jacobi if you would like to participate.
