#RitusReviews #YouWillBeMySon - 2013 French Drama - enjoyed it very much - about a winemaker who wants to leave his wine estate to a worthy successor & doesn’t think his son is worthy but thinks his estate manager’s son is! Powerfully acted by Niels Arestrup. @PrimeVideo 4*

#RitusReviews #AmericanFactory - #Oscar2020 best doc winner. Screened at @sxsw @sundancefest - about a Chinese factory setup when a GM factory in Ohio shuts down. The venture starts on a +ve note but clash b/w two cultures & diff work ethics causes many challenges. @netflix 4*

#RitusReviews #JokerMovie - opened at @venicefilmfest 2019 - much talked about and nominated for 11 awards for @TheAcademy 2020. @Joaquimphoenix was wonderful but the movie wasn’t appealing - for my taste. I watched it because of all the nominations! 3*

#RitusReviews #JustMercy - opened at @TOfilmfest 2019-based on real life story of Bryan Stevenson-a Harvard trained idealist lawyer who takes on cases of wrongly condemned people on death row in Alabama & saves Walter McMillian & many more. Hats off to Bryan! Watch this movie! 4*

#RitusReviews #UncutGems - a crime thriller about a jewellery store owner and gambling addict. Movie opened @TellurideFilm 2019. @AdamSandler ‘s acting is good but the movie is hard to follow. I don’t agree w/ high ratings of reviewers. I gave it a generous 3*!
