This is the type of film that I hope will find success with a wider audience in the years to come. Delinquent is an incredible dialogue driven film from first time writer/director Kieran Valla and wow does he knock it out of the park. The script and story is strong, though it does falter slightly in the second act. The entire cast gives A+ performances, especially Alex Shaffer in the lead role as well as Bill Sage as his father. The cinematography is truly haunting, and while I may be biased as I grew up in northern-Connecticut where the film is based, I felt completely as if I was there. The final shot of the film has stuck with me sense seeing the film for the first time. Delinquent is a hidden gem and I'd strongly suggest checking it out.

Solo: A Star Wars Story
(2018)
Solo: A Star Wars Story was absolutely FANTASTIC
26 May 2018
Solo: A Star Wars Story was absolutely FANTASTIC. I'm actually in disbelief at how good it was! Wooooooo! As someone who loves The Force Awakens, enjoys Rogue One for what it is and really is not at all a fan of The Last Jedi, I was blown away by how much I enjoyed this movie!
This was classic Lawerence Kasdan dialogue with great character moments given to every major character. Side note he also wrote Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark and a few other small films - catch the sarcasm? Speaking of which, Solo reminded me in many ways of Raiders of the Lost Ark and yes - Alden Ehrenreich was in fact Han Solo. The pacing of this movie was perfect, the score was beautiful, especially the love theme for Qi'Ra -- just gorgeous. Wooooooooooo!!!
Okay, I may be on a Star Wars high at the moment! Crazy enough, I actually really hope to see some sort of sequel to this movie which follows Han and Chewbacca. That's how much I bought Ehrenreich as Han and Chewie as well Chewie. Go check it out - give Solo chance! Oh! Last thing - there is a tie in I did not see coming at all which perfectly sets up another spin-off film featuring an actor who maybe, just might also be in a film about talking bear who loves honey!!
