Green Book (2018)

A working-class Italian-American bouncer becomes the driver of an African-American classical pianist on a tour of venues through the 1960s American South.

Entertaining and heartfelt buddy movie with the two men, in almost all aspects sheer opposites, find friendship against the obstacles of a hostile society;  made with great sensitivity and good period detail, but its the two excellent leads that make it happen.

In the Shadow of the Moon (2019)

A Philadelphia police officer struggles with a lifelong obsession to track down a mysterious serial killer whose crimes defy explanation.

Nicely staged sci-fi crime drama is at first interesting, but has one main problem: it's yet again another time-travel story beyond any plausibility.

Eye in the Sky (2015)

A military officer in command of an operation to capture terrorists in Kenya, sees her mission escalate when a girl enters the kill zone triggering an international dispute over the implications of modern warfare.

Good political thriller exposes the moral ambiguity - and hypocrisy and dubious machinations behind targeted drone killings; top cast enhances the credibility of the story.

Ah-ga-ssi (2016)

A woman is hired as a handmaiden to a Japanese heiress, but secretly she is involved in a plot to defraud her.

Brilliant and beautifully staged and photographed erotic drama with a complex, but clearly told plot; every scene filled to the brim with visual artistry.

Coco Rocha
