Movie and show critiques

Here is my roundup of general movie critiques I have written so far and will continue to add to, depending on the Asks that I get. (and depending on time. Unfortunately I have no way of adequately responding in a timely manner to the already multiple requests I have!)

I will start adding RQ’s- “Related Questions”- below the films to identify common questions I tend to get about each movie.
