Let Them All Talk (2020)
Great Movie for Adults
A wonderfully refreshing break from the relentlessly paced action movies so common today. Like the ship itself, this one helps you to settle down your pace and actually listen to dialogue and watch the wonderful acting and scenery.
The characters are like flowers that slowly open up as the plot procedes and we learn more and more about each one and how they all intertwine in the past and in this present.
Very well written, directed, and produced. But if you need fast action to maintain your interest, this is not for you.

Rare Intelligence
I would not have chosen this movie but woke up to it in the middle of the night - and was quickly hooked. The characters are wonderful to get to know as they increasingly get to know each other, and delightfully free of self-pity or narcissism. The device they use to go from scene to scene is a black out followed by a new room number which is the scene of their next tryst. That device cleverly moves the action along a continuum of character development and maturing of their relationship without ever bogging down in an overly heavy dialog. Both actors have that kind of cinematic face which is fun to watch and never boring. Best thing I can say about this movie, though, is that it was written, produced, directed, and acted with an intelligence all too rarely found in today's American movies. And not a single car chase, explosion, or blood spattered body! No wonder it wasn't advertised by the studio!
