Post-Thanksgiving. I didn’t plan it this way, but next week I have screenings for “Nightmare Alley,” “Don’t Look Up,” “West Side Story,” “Cyrano,” and a second go-round of “Licorice Pizza.” Fun times. Expect reviews for all of them and a better understanding of the Oscar race ahead.
I wouldn't call this film great — it stops short of that because of how neatly it resolves itself — but I'll give Rock his due here: this is much better than his previous directorial effort, "Top Five."
