The Judge
A successful
lawyer returns to his hometown for his mother's funeral only to discover that
his estranged father, the town's judge, is suspected of murder.
Desultory, wan family drama where characters treat
each other with needlessly glib and complicated actions instead of using easily
accessible common sense.

Tusk
When his best
friend and podcast co-host goes missing in the backwoods of Canada, a young guy
joins forces with his friend's girlfriend to search for him.
A slog: Awkward comedy-horror ingestion with many of
its director’s now exasperating tropes. It is neither horrific nor funny; disturbing
and embarrassing is more apt.

God Help the Girl **
An Australian
girl suffering from Anorexia Nervosa travels to Glasgow where she meets an
aspiring songwriter and his guitar student and decides to form a band with
them.
A musical dramatization of the album written by its
director for his band Belle & Sebastian. Strangely, all the shaggy, “first
movie” problems the film inherently suffers from – which would in most cases
grate – add to the film’s charm. Though the whole thing might be too cutesy for
some.
