Streaming Reviews---week of March 17, 2022



1) "Who You Think I Am"--Prime Amazon--French film--1 hour & 41 minutes--if you are not familiar with Juliette Binoche this is the film to see--she is mesmerizing whether just looking at her or watching her act or just being--from the hair on her head to her toes she embodies her line "I can deal with dying but not with abandonment!" If you are familiar with her you won't miss this film!


2) "The Andy Warhol Diaries"--Netflix--miniseries-6 episodes--6 hours & 37 minutes--If you don't know anything about Warhol you may be shocked and if you do you really won't learn anything new about him--was he gay? Listening to the naysayers and those who thought he was and the quotes from his diary nothing is ever said as if he would come back from the dead and haunt them--The series is interesting but can easily be fast forward over half of it--certainly not for prudes!


3) "Dior & I"--Amazon Prime--French documentary--1 hour & 30 minutes--the debut of Raf Simons as the face of the House of Dior is what this is about but we never really get to know much about his assistant/partner Pieter Mulier, him or Dior--it is the behind the scenes of what goes into making a Dior couture collection premiere--how Simons works, not speaking French, and the women who actually do the work is interesting but the models faces scared me!


4) "Lucy"--movie--1 hour & 34 Minutes 5) "Lucy And Desi"--documentary--1 hour & 48 minutes--both on Amazon Prime as is previously reviewed "Being The Riccardos"--in all 3 films you will know more about Lucy (nee Ball) & Desi Arnez than you ever wanted to but like me you will laugh as each film has 3 of Lucy's funniest clips that I roared at then and still do--just as funny as they were that is how sad their 'ending' was--the one thing I learned new was about Lucille Ball being mentored by Buster Keaton--if you can see all 3 starting with the documentary, then "Lucy" and finally "Being The Riccardos " it would be far from a boring evening!


6) "Tiger Orange"--Amazon Prime--film--1 hour & 15 minutes--I find it very rare that any filmmaker doing 2 or more jobs on a film does the film justice and this is a perfect example-- this is a rare story of two small town brothers who are gay, one, 'in the closet', staying home to take care of their father who is dying and the other becoming the stereotype 'in your face gay' and returns home when their father dies--Mark Strano stars, produces, co-writes and does the production design while Wade Gasque directs, co-writes the screenplay and co- produces--Strano is a good actor and Gasque a good director but since they had so many voices in the film that should have been 2 hours of striking drama is instead a film that could have/should have been reduced to 75 minutes--the saving grace of the movie is the cinematography of Lila Javan!
