Movie Reviews: “Ballerina,” “Dangerous Animals,” “I Don’t Understand You”
“Ballerina”
Official Synopsis: Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, the film follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.
“Dangerous Animals”
Official Synopsis: When Zephyr (Hassie Harrison), a rebellious surfer, is abducted by a shark-obsessed serial killer (Jai Courtney) and held captive on his boat, she must figure out how to escape before he carries out a ritualistic feeding to the sharks below.
“I Don’t Understand You”
Official Synopsis: An American couple (Andrew Rannells and Nick Kroll), on the verge of adopting a baby, goes on an Italian vacation -- an opportunity to reconnect before the new addition arrives. Everything is picture-perfect; the epitome of a European baby moon, when things begin to spiral out of control. On the way to dinner, they get their rental car stuck in a ditch and are stranded in rural nowhere in a downpour. These two Americans, who are used to being catered to, are now in a foreign land without service, an Italian language comprehension of about zero, and clear relationship turmoil that could explode at any minute. Fear obviously takes over.
