Puppets & Prayers: THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE
Garfield's performance is very good as Baker when he realizes his desire to run an empire has become overwhelming and you see him rise to a level of panic and try to tamp it down.

DOWNHILL (Sundance 2020 Premiere)
Is Downhill as good as the original? No, of course not. Although, I do remember there being a number of unnecessarily slow, extraneous scenes in “Force Majeure”, so co-directors and writers Nat Faxon and Jim Rash (Academy Award winners for The Descendants which they co-wrote with Alexander Payne) do create a tighter script in “Downhill”; yet the movie is also missing some of the subtleties of things farther under the surface, which foreign films seem to capture so well.

The set up of the movie happens quickly, in a comedy this is a good thing, in a gritty crime drama, you want more texture and details. I felt I needed to live longer with these women before I believed they can suddenly take over Hell’s Kitchen. …
