I’ll try and write this review without telling you anything that will ruin it for you. I’ll start by saying this is an epic, one you can’t miss. Curious about what was meant by “Flower Moon,” I looked it up. The Farmer’s Almanac began to name the full moons in the 1930s. The name given by American tribes to the full moon in May was the “Flower Moon.” The flowers blooming across North America, signaled the abundance and the coming of Spring after a cold, hard winter. This is important in this story, but I can’t tell you why.​

There are moments in this film that had me laughing like mad. It is an oddball story, so, as I said, there were MOMENTS, as in a few, that gave me a chuckle. However, too many occasions made me cringe and think, “What in the h*ll am I watching??”

I’ve been binge-watching “Suits” lately, so I know my courtroom dramas. The traditional explanation of the law you get from “Suits” was what I expected to see with “The Burial.” But it was so much more. It’s uncommon to get such a passionate film from an editorial. It had heart, integrity, grit and character. A lot of character.
This romantic fantasy, “She Came to Me” was written and directed by Rebecca Miller, which is a considerable feat, mind you, but I find it interesting that several people, including Nicole Kidman and Matthew Broderick, left before production began. The movie is anything but romantic and feels rushed, suggesting that Miller should have considered a more experienced director behind the lens. The story itself wasn’t any better, but maybe someone could have made this piece work. It’s about love. It’s about romance, but those two words must be revised here.​

“The Exorcist: Believer” is an attempt to revive a franchise that began 50 years ago. The original movie, when it came out, was the biggest and scariest thing out there. “The Exorcist” terrified audiences five decades in the past. The shocking visuals of a young girl taken over by a demon were horrifying. But now this is the right time to reboot? Whatever possessed them to think that?
