Vertical’s “The Good Mother” is filmed and based in New York. Believe it or not, it wasn’t shot in Georgia! Sorry. That’s a personal thing… onto the review. It’s directed by Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, whose work has mostly been short films. Good for him to be moving up! It’s written by both him and Madison Harrison. They also worked together on the feature film named “As You Are.”

In case you’re unaware of exactly who Gold Meir (Helen Mirren) was and what she did, the beginning of the film shows us some old newspaper clippings and TV spots telling you a little you should know about what was going on around the time she entered the picture, being voted in as Prime Minister.
The best thing about this film is a new young actor named Jesse Berry, who carries this film. I’ll be keeping an eye on his career. ​

For a comedy about dogs, “Strays” was impeccably constructed. Suppose you’re OK with filthy mouths, dirty thoughts and sexual innuendo. In that case, you’ll be happy with these adorable dogs saying and doing what you see.
