The Torch (2019)
77%
3/4
“Buddy Guy, the 85-year-old blues star from Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, is the subject of two recent documentaries. The newly released "The Torch" is a better account of Guys marathon rise to fame than last years oddly stilted PBS documentary.” –

“Following Pixar's many high-achieving movies, "Luca" underachieves, its best moments negated by lengthy stretches of mediocrity.” –

“A corrosive narrative of the death of memory and loss of identity, "The Father" confirms Hopkins' continuing prowess, Colman's growing status and Florian Zeller's arrival as a major film director.” –

“Splendid principal cast members make the most of their roles, earning their audience. Even so, they can't fix a scattershot, simultaneously overreaching and underachieving screenplay.” –

3.5/4
“Hanks has earned his way into a classic Hollywood fraternity. Like John Wayne, James Stewart and Gary Cooper, Hanks has shaped an indelible screen identity. His new old-fashioned western, "News of the World," is another feather in his filmography.” –

“"Dolemite Is My Name" is filled with heart, bust-out-loud comedy and a whole lot of cussing. Murphy lives the role of Moore, a man who doesn't let choruses of naysayers keep him down.” –
