—
Before I went to see The Tiger Rising I read a few reviews. The very first one I read stated, and I quote, “This movie is so bad I fell asleep and my six year old wanted to leave.” So my husband, my nine-year-old granddaughter, and I were front and center — and I was…

I’ve been seeing previews for Antlers for close to two years now. I’ve been waiting for its release for a very long time. My expectations were set very high and my excitement grew during those two years. (Yeah, another thing to thank Covid for.) Now I was sitting in the theater waiting for it to…
