When music and dancing and spirits soar, I feel much closer to a 4.
Why then give it a 3.5 only? Because it felt 20 minutes too long and I often felt like dozing.

Best of the three! (but need to rewatch the first one) (and, in hindsight, did I rate *Glass Onion* too high?)
Beautiful to look at, and great acting all around!

Well, they can't all be great.
(Turns out that if you've downloaded a movie in the Criterion Channel app before it leaves, you can still watch it at least a few days after it's been removed from the streaming library.)
(Also, [Richard Gere does this](https://youtu.be/f3YH5USzz14?si=shVahIT6lmA2hX9b) at least twice in this movie.)

Too early to tell if Olivia Holt should replace Vanessa Hudgens as Netflix's Queen of Christmas (*The Knight Before Christmas* sequel when?) (and yes, Rose McIver had a good run, too), but this makes a decent case for Olivia to bear the crown.
Decent fun was had!

I feel like *Jane Austen Saved My Life* would be a more apt title, really, but it's certainly not as provocative.
It's fine. A little slow.

Heartbreaking with slight moments of uplift and a glimmer of hope here and there.
But mostly heartbreaking.
Really quite clever and lovely how this was shot.
(I haven't seen many movies with Sandy Dennis, but between this and *That Cold Day in the Park*, I'm very much convinced that she is the cloth from which Julianne Moore was cut.)
