powell-yendi Review of St. Vincent

St. Vincent (2014)

I may be psychic, because I see an Academy Award in Bill Murray's future!

[10/10 · 15 November 2014]

For the record, tonight I watched "Miss Meadows" and "St. Vincent." I loved them both, but I was compelled to leave a review for St. Vincent. Emphasis on the word "compelled." What...an...awesome...performance by Bill Murray. Melissa McCarthy was sarcastic as usual, Naomi Watts stunned me with her display of versatility, and the little munchkin just made me pucker my bottom lip. This was definitely a "Dennis the Menace" theme revamped. An innocent, low-maintenance child, combined with a grumpy old man = touching. If Bill doesn't rack up the Oscars for this movie, then these are the end times for cinematography. As a play on the famous adage "watch and learn," I say, "watch and love." 10/10.
