The “Sunset” in the title refers to the sunset of their race. Watching this makes you come to the stunning realization that all beasts have been where the Sasquatch is, including us. They are aware of certain things, not of others. They have wandered from somewhere—God only knows where—and find themselves in the deep forest of the Redwoods.
This is an unforgettable story, and having Anthony Hopkins tell it makes it all the better. It’s the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, who, as a young British stockbroker at the time, couldn’t stand the atrocities he was seeing in Prague. Johnny Flynn plays the younger version of Winton and gives an amazing performance.

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.
This movie is darling. Is that a word one uses in a critique of a film? Yes. I want to make it more straightforward for you by saying that. If you’re in a bad mood or feeling overwhelmed about anything, this story will lift you up and set you free of anything.

In high heels, Bianca (Monica Bellucci) walks through a plethora of dead bodies. She kisses a now dead man, Don Giuseppe Balbano (Alessandro Bressanello). Bianca was his general. He trusted her and he meant a lot to her. She stands and proclaims with an Italian accent, “This means war.”
Once thought of as actress Frances O’Connor from such films as “Mansfield Park,” “A.I.: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE” and “The Conjuring 2,” she’s now Actress, Writer, and Director Frances O’Connor. And what an undertaking she took on for her debut film. I must first mention what a fine job she did choosing her cast and crew. Abel Korzeniowski’s score is nothing short of transcendent. During the opening credits, it’ll have you in the mood for something heavy and exciting to watch. And this will be the case during the remainder of the film. She couldn’t have picked a better costume designer, cinematographer, or cast, either.
“Mass” was written and directed by actor Fran Kranz, who you’ve seen in such films as “Training Day,” “Cabin in the Woods,” and “The Village.” Actually, this is his writing and directorial debut. Still, with all the acting credits listed next to his name, I wasn’t too worried about whether or not he’d be a good storyteller. And what do you know, I wasn’t disappointed. You won’t be either.
