Brief 2023 Catch up reviews NYAD, YOU WERE MY FIRST BOYFRIEND and THE KILLER

 


NYAD
Annette Benning and Jodie Foster are the reason to see NYAD, a not particularly good look at the endurance swimmer, that is part documentary and part narrative. 

While the two ladies shine as best friends, the script dies reducing Nyad to a whiner, who gets in over her head. While I was always a fan of Nyad's, this film made me like her less


YOU WERE MY FIRST BOYFRIEND
A look back our time in high school.

Cringe worthy look at High School did little for me. Blame the fact that I didn't do high school like other people, I was socially anti-social.

I've heard people loved it but it did little for me.


THE KILLER
Hit man tries to untangle that went wrong and blew back.

David Fincher's adaption of a comic is well made, low key and completely unremarkable. If it wasn't for Fincher this film would probably never get noticed.
