]]> 7062 Ben Is Back, 2018 – ★★★★½ https://movieadaychallenge.com/ben-is-back-2018-%e2%98%85%e2%98%85%e2%98%85%e2%98%85%c2%bd/ Tue, 05 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000 http://movieadaychallenge.com/?p=6940 Movie #72 watched on 3/5/2019.
Director: Peter Hedges | Writer(s): Peter Hedges This movie is amazingly heartbreaking. It drops you into a family that is dealing with the opioid epidemic. When you hear the sound bites on the news it does not really hit home. This movie gives you a personal story to use as a lense to what is happening across this country. Julia Roberts is amazing and should have received some type of nomination for this. Lucas Hedges just keeps turning in one great performance after another with this one being his best by far.

Director: Jonah Hill | Writer(s): Jonah Hill Amazing Jonah. This feels more like a documentary than a film. Sunny Suljic is great along with the rest of the cast. This one is going to stay with me awhile.
