Happy Wednesday and Thanksgiving Eve (is that a thing?),

In movie news: Wicked scored the best opening weekend at box office for a live-action musical grossing $114M worldwide—the third biggest of the year. Read my review here.

Today I’m recommending two movies about the beautiful complexities of family. Plus, a review of A24’s newest release Queer, starring Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey.

Thankful for you,
Karl

Streaming on Max

The Birdcage

Today’s first recommendation is for a cult classic (and personal favorite) timeless comedy: Mike Nichols’s The Birdcage.
