In the weeks after the Academy Awards show, there’s usually not much worth seeing in movie theaters. And this year’s no exception. But I did find two new films worth seeing online. In ALICE, DARLING stars Anna Kendrick as the victim of psychological abuse by her boyfriend. This very well acted movie clearly dramatizes how a verbally abusive man doesn’t have to be physically violent to do serious psychological damage to his partner. ($3.99 on Amazon)
Keira Knightley plays Loretta McLaughlin and Carrie Coon is Jean Cole in BOSTON STRANGLER, an absorbing drama based on the real story of the two newspaper reporters who investigated the brutal murders of 13 women in the early 1960’s. They persevered in spite of sexism in the newsroom and opposition from their husbands as well the Boston police department. (HULU)

THE QUIET GIRL is the first Irish film ever nominated for Best International Feature Film. It’s a delicate and beautiful film about a neglected 9 year old from a large dysfunctional family who is sent away for a summer to stay with her mother’s married middle aged cousin. There she experiences love and acceptance for the first time. THE QUIET GIRL a heartfelt movie with a slow pace and lovely cinematography. And first time actress, Catherine Clinch, is superb as the young girl. If you’d like to see a heartwarming film about lonely people who help each other, check out this bittersweet movie at Kahala Mall. It’ll be gone before next weekend.
