Through Wright's performance we experience Edee’s suffering, grief and hopelessness, while not knowing the full story of what brought her to the decision to live as a hermit in the mountains.

Judas and the Black Messiah
Relative newcomer director Shaka King (Newlyweeds) taps some of today's hot, young talent for this film which helps take the screenplay from very good to great.

Bliss
If you want a "thinking movie", Bliss might be right up your alley but for the majority of people I suspect it will just simply seem weird.

Palmer
Palmer can be somewhat predictable, but this cast gives it something more that makes it worth watching and makes the viewer wish it was longer.

While Saint Maud is categorized as a horror/thriller, I found it to be more a drama about a delusional and mentally ill woman who turns to religion as a way to cope.

HBO Max brings a little bit of humor and a “look on the bright side” of quarantine life to Locked Down.
