Fifty Shades of Grey *
A
literature student meets a tormented billionaire and two of them have lots of
sex.
Not particularly sexy adaptation of
the insipid best seller that attempts to conjugate the sleekly with the
unfettered. Like the book, the characters and situations make little sense, but
unlike the book, it is more than inflated pornography.

Dear White People **
Four
black students attend an Ivy League college where a riot breaks out over an
“African American” themed party thrown by white students.
Satirical look at racial politics
amongst young people that is at times hilarious but isn’t nearly as urgent or
plainspoken as it could’ve been. Despite its clearly clumsy construction, it
offers a considerable talent in its young director.

Love is Strange ***
After
39 years together, two men finally tie the knot, but one loses his job as a
result, and the newlyweds must sell their New York apartment and live apart.
Honest, seemingly glancing variation
of the Tokyo Story theme that depicts its central situation with startling
insight and assuredness. The acting is impeccable.
