Father Stu/Father Stu: Reborn

Father Stu movie

I found a lot to like in Father Stu. It’s funny and faithful and, ultimately, deeply moving. But it’s also very messy.

The Son

The Son 2023

Despite some fine performances and surprising restraint, The Son’s searingly honest depiction of mental illness misses the mark.

Cocaine Bear

Cocaine Bear 2023 movie
