I had heard very bad things about Serenity but I tried to go in with an open mind, thinking a movie starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway can’t be that bad, but I’m here to tell you it can!
The Aftermath: Film Review
February 28, 2019 by Leave a Comment
I thought Keira Knightley was terrific in Colette so I was intrigued to see what she followed it up with – and while she puts in another stellar performance in The Aftermath, the film itself is weak and just OK.

I am a huge fan of Damien Chazelle’s work, so I had high hopes for First Man – which I saw at the Venice Film Festival – after the success of Whiplash and La La Land, and it did not disappoint.

Looking back over the past year, there have been some pretty damn good films. But I still had trouble picking my top ten – finding the first six was easy, but the remaining four were not as convincing.
