ELWAY
Netflix documentary portrait of John Elway.
While not bad the film is everything you'd expect from a victory lap documentary about beloved sports figure, which is the problem. I enjoyed it but but I wish it was more clear eyed and less loving. Still it killed 90 minutes while I did other things.
MARCELLA
Portrait of Italian cookbook write Marecella Hazan.
This is fine if Marcella is of interest to you, but it is exactly like so many other portraits of other cooks that there is very little here we haven't seen. It is also way too loving. I didn't hate it, but as someone who loves food films, I found it less than compelling.
BLUR TO THE END
Another documentary about the reforming of Blur and their striving to make new music together.
We've been here before in the other films documenting their journey to make music. At this point this feel more like the Apted UP series but for a rock group, and not always in a compelling way for non-fans.
