Review of All About Nina (2018) by David M — 25 Dec 2018

Mary Elizabeth Winstead puts in the performance of her career. If you are a transformers type, or you like aqua man, this film might not be dumb enough, or closer to the reality TV most Americans are watching these days. Also, no explosions or special effects. She certainly showed us what she is capable with the gem of a performance she created in the last season of Fargo.

This was the feature film debut for the director Eva Vives, who was also the writer on this terrific film. This was obviously a small independent film, as Hollywood has forgotten how to make such story driven, well written, tightly directed gems like this one. Common was outstanding as usual. He is an amazing talent. All of the supporting cast was excellent. The story line progressed in totally unpredictable fashion, and the ending was about as good as it could possibly be, considering the challenging direction the story took toward the end.

I highly recommend this film.
