The Good Liar features great performances from Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren, but the film can’t overcome other problems. Chris Cassingham reviews.
Although Helen Mirren’s performance as Catherine the Great is good, the miniseries itself was a chore to finish despite weighing in at only four hours.
Anna just isn’t quite the fun thrill ride that one might have hoped for, suffering from a disorganized plot, characters devoid of personality, and less-than-stellar action.

Hollywood and the golden age of film have now all but faded into history, and any glimpse into that world is for that reason a glimpse into history itself. Trumbo is a look at the show business world following the Cold War, when Hollywood started to blacklist people solely due to their political alignments. Starring the very talented Bryan Cranston as the titular character, the film is not only a successful character study and biopic, it is also an engaging and entertaining glimpse at a very dark time in Hollywood’s history.
