February Double-Feature: “Death on the Nile” and “The Sky is Everywhere”

February Movie review Double-Feature this time:
Death on the Nile and The Sky is Everywhere

Death on the Nile

127 Minutes, Rated PG-13

Written by Michael Green (based on the novel by Agatha Christie)

Directed by Kenneth Branagh

Synopsis:
While on vacation on the Nile, Hercule Poirot must investigate the murder of a young heiress.

A lot of delays on this one: Covid, Disney buy-out, cannibalism…

But how’s the movie?

Well, it’s beautifully shot. Very “old Hollywood” in style and feel, with a wonderful cast of actors people feel the need to tear down for various reasons.

Oh, and we get the origin of Poirot’s mustache, so that’s kind of cool.

Want more than that? You’ll just have to listen, won’t you?

Death on the Nile is in theaters NOW.

Death on the Nile stars Tom Bateman, Kenneth Branagh, Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Annette Benning, Emma Mackey, Sophie Okenedo, Letitia Wright, Rose Leslie, Ali Fazal, and Susannah Fielding.

The Sky is Everywhere

103 Minutes, Rated PG-13

Written by Jandy Nelson

Directed by Josephine Decker

Synopsis:
A shy, teenage musician tries to keep things together in the aftermath of her older, more outgoing sister’s death.

Bottom line: this movie is messed up in a lot of ways.

None of those ways includes the performances or cinematography.

There are some story elements where you will say “what the –?”

But again, to learn more, have a listen.

The Sky is Everywhere is in select theaters and on Apply TV+ now.

The Sky is Everywhere stars Grace Kaufman, Jacques Climon, Cherry Jones, Jason Segel, Pico Alexander, Ji-Young Yoo, and Havana Rose Lio.
