All About Nina (2018)

Sometimes you walk out of a movie just overwhelmed by what you have seen and that's what happened for me with All About Nina. I've been impressed with Mary Elizabeth Winstead whenever I have seen her, but her performance here is game changing. She is a revelation in a complicated, difficult, and engrossing performance. You won't be able to get her out of your head after seeing this film.

Writer/director Eva Vives creates an incredible portrait of a women who has survived so far, meets an imperfect man, and discovers her route to success, perhaps. All About Nina isn't what you will expect but it is what we need to see.

And it's funny. It's funny in a way that hurts a bit. All About Nina needs to come with a trigger warning. If you are a woman living in America this film may speak to much of what you have gone through.

Winstead is one of the best performances you'll see all year in a movie with an incredible script, shot is a beautiful darkness. It is revelatory.
