I'm going to watch one of two movies this weekend with my son and I need help picking because both have their ups and downs, but we're only watching one of them:

A little melodramatic but I really enjoyed it. The "novel" sequence was my favorite and i Love Amy Adams
Is the watch with the wife material? It’s been sitting on my DVR for weeks and I too love AA.

I loved Nocturnal Animals when I saw it in the cinema for the first time. I tried to re-watch it a few weeks ago at home, and when I got to some of the harder parts I thought to myself, "why am I subjecting myself to all this pain?" and turned it off. It's a difficult movie (but great).

Depends, what is your wife not okay with?
No gore or violence against kids.

There is a scene on the side of the road where some rubes get a little grabby with the women. None of the violence is straight in your face. A lot implied.

Pls elaborate LV, curious to hear your thoughts.
It's a whole lot of big, loud metaphors that wind up expressing nothing new or insightful. It's also really boring and J-Law's protagonist is so relentlessly dull and unappealing that I never want to see her in another movie.

I've been thinking about it a lot, and I thought it was pretty impressive cinematically. I'm a little dumb, so I had to ask the person I went with to explain the metaphor to me. All that said, a couple walked out of the theatre about seven minutes from the end of the movie, and all I could think was "Yup. That makes sense." It's worth seeing, but it's not especially meaningful at the end of the day.
An enigma of a man shaped hole in the wall between reality and the soul of the devil.

It tries to build up to this insane, frenetic finish, but it's so tedious to sit through. The characters aren't characters, they're one note symbols, thus I didn't really care about anything that was going on.
Feels like a good sketch stretched out to two hours.
Nice to see ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer, though.

Finally got around to watching Spiderman Homecoming. It was alright - although there were some things which didn't seem to fit into the universe they were trying to create...
