The hilarious “Late Night” finally is out in theaters, “The Dead Don’t Die” is dangerously mundane, and “American Woman” is here to put your problems in perspective, but not effectively.
“Late Night” is written by and stars the amazing Mindy Kaling. It was one of my absolute favorite films out of Sundance and I highly recommend it. It stars Kaling, Emma Thompson, Amy Ryan, Hugh Dancy, Reed Scott, John Lithgow, Denis O’Hare, and Ike Barinholtz.
Meanwhile out of Cannes there’s Jim Jarmusch’s “The Dead Don’t Die” which commits the sin of being boring. In spite of a super talented cast of Adam Driver, Bill Murray, Chloe Sevigny, Tilda Swinton, Tom Waits, RZA, Steve Buscemi, Danny Glover, Iggy Pop, and Selena Gomez, it fails to get it together.
Finally there’s the Sienna Miller lead “American Woman” which should make you feel like your problems aren’t so bad, but instead is a sloppy tale of one woman’s suffering.
