Movie review #1: Isle of Dogs review: Wes Anderson's latest is a tenderhearted, eccentric canine tale
1. Entertainment Weekly published this review
2. Leah Greenbalt wrote the story
3. I would give this review a 7 out of 10 because it was good, but it was too wordy at times
4. The high points of the movie were his visual wit, talented actors, and plot.
5. The low points of the movie were all of the dark references, which seemed to bleak for a children's movie.
6. "The movie’s darker allegory of persecution and internment isn’t hard to miss, though, and the dogs themselves, with their tactile tufts of fur and Buster Keaton eyes, have an endearing, complicated humanity. In these cotton-wooled times, Isle may be deemed too bleak for children, and a warning wouldn’t be entirely wrong; the story, for all its snowglobe-diorama enchantment, doesn’t swerve away from the more ragged realities of poisoned hearts and mangled paws. But the bittersweet singularity of its telling speaks to every creature, big and small."
Movie Review #2: Love, Simon Movie Review & Film Summary
1. MRQE published this article from RogerEbert.com

3. I would give this review an 8 out of 10 because it was good but it didn't leave any room for mystery in the movie, and thoroughly explained everything that happened in the story.
4. The high points of the movie was the acting and humor
5. The low points of the movie was the cheesy plot, but it also worked with the movie.
6. "I did not see the movie at a press screening surrounded by critics. I went to an audience preview, and the excitement as the lights dimmed was palpable. I noticed no surreptitious checking of cell phones during the film, only an energy of complete engagement. People were talking back to the screen or gasping in sympathy or howling with laughter. When Simon's anonymous crush finally revealed his identity, the audience erupted into screams and applause. There was a feeling of cathartic release in the theatre, unique in my experience, especially with teenage rom-com fare.
In one poignant scene, Simon's mother says to him, "You can exhale now, Simon." That's what I sensed in the screening of “Love, Simon," and that's what the film is. A long overdue exhale." This paragraph by the critic was her overall opinion because she thought it was mainstream, but also good.
