Audrey (2020)
Documentary does attempt to give a comprehensive biography portrait of Audrey Hepburn, but actually doesn't reveal any new insight; the staged ballet sequences, however, are unnecessarily interruptious, superficial and quite off-putting.

Hollywood Story (1951)
During the 1950s Hollywood, an independent producer unwisely opens a can of worms when he decides to make a movie about the 1929 unsolved murder of a famous silent-film director.
Competent
crime mystery with an intriguing Hollywood plot is vivid and fairly
suspenseful; a more straight attempt by horror expert William Castle.
Halliwell*: "Adequate potboiler with a reasonably absorbing plot and glimpses of silent stars."
Maltin++1/2: "Loaded with potential that's mostly unrealized. Strongest asset is location filming around Hollywood and the old Chaplin studio."

Let Them All Talk (2020)
A famous author goes on a cruise trip with her friends and nephew in an effort to find fun and happiness while she comes to terms with her troubled past.
Carefully directed cruise ship drama with some humorous elements is fully enjoyable first and foremost for its excellently assembled ensemble; there's never a dull moment.
