Adam Driver is an excellent actor.
The Black Phone - Rotten Tomatoes
The Black Phone is doing well with the reviews by critics and audience members.

The only child actor that seemed CLOSE to believable was the main kid's sister.
And the BIG BAD killer-villain drove a BLACK van ( oouu so scary). And he had a signature of a bunch of BLACK balloons (oouu so unique, what a great story line touch, so well written). And the BLACK phone helping the little HERO by sending him clues about hoe to escape from dead previous victims of the big, BAD balloon-guy. (so well written)
I did like the last scene because our HERO kid had now developed some nads and could now - live happily ever after. The scene was also good because I knew that it was the end of the movie........BLACK phony
However, I DO like the idea of movie reviews. I would like to see one about the sci/fi series "Raised by Wolves" which on a free special from HBO max ( I believe). I only saw the 1st episode, which I like a lot. Also, another interesting sci/fi movie that I like was "After Yang" which was set in the near future. A BELIEVABLE future without the wars of too many special effects, just good acting and drama. Colin Farrell was in it........a very solid actor. Another good non fiction movie that would be good to talk about is "The House of Gucci" a true story starring Adam Driver and Lady Gaga, who surprised me as a VERY good actor!!!!!!!
