Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I am a long time viewer of Washington Week in Review and find that the program has suffered under its current host, Gwen Ifill. Ms Ifill interrupts her guests and chooses to interject her point of view too often which lessens the flow of information from informed sources. Program improvements could include having a wider variety of guests. In the Washington DC area there are experts in almost any field one can imagine. Accessing those resources might add some life blood to the program instead of having the same journalists on week after week. One the occasions when there is a guest host, the program is vibrant and informative to listeners because the panelists are able express their views and analysis.
