Movie & Television Reviews

The life of one of the most compelling of modern saints is recounted in the inspiring documentary “Mother Teresa: No Greater Love.”

A mother and child reunion is more than a motion away in the sensitive fact-based drama “Lifemark” (Fathom). The subtle maneuvering required to bring it about provides much of the slender plot for this gently touching movie.

Movie fans who are believers are bound to be wary of a production titled “Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul” (Focus)

The idea of casting Sylvester Stallone as a superhero seems natural enough. But the concept goes badly awry in the dreary, inept action thriller “Samaritan” (MGM/Amazon Prime).

Despite its conformity to some misguided contemporary values, director Wanuri Kahiu’s film “Look Both Ways” has a low-key charm viewers will likely appreciate.

Amazon Prime, in collaboration with Sony Pictures Television, have decided to dust off “A League of Their Own” and give us an eponymous eight-episode streaming version.
