With "Mank", Fincher stepped out of his comfort zone on the extreme petulance at times of the human condition and places it more squarely in the notion of talent versus self-loathing. His father wrote the script of Herman Mankewicz, a gifted writer, who was always on the periphery of greatness.

McCarthy is not bad. Her timing is inevitably right on point. It is just the overall possibility of the plot seems beneath her. Many directors (specifically Paul Feig) know that it is about skirting the edge with McCarthy and how to focus her talent. Her beauty is being almost out of control but with a heart.

While many have heard bits and different tellings of John Belushi's story over the years, it really comes down to psychology, dependence, childhood and an essence of fate in his own head and the chaos swirling around him and the expectation for him that came with it.

"On The Rocks" is a tale of perspective but also misdirects. It is pretty much a two-hander between Rashida Jones as a daughter whose husband may or may not be straying and her father, a relentless charmer who sometimes is misled in the form of Bill Murray.

The ideal of Nikola Tesla as a structure of vision is well documented but his history and prevalence is not. In approaching Tesla as an independent, director Michael Almereyda wants to create a balance of a person haunted by fame but yet in awe of it. His ideas are revolutionary and yet the idea of how to present them to the masses is fraught.

The texture of "Waiting For The Barbarians" is an interesting one because it uses the backdrop of what should be North Africa but seemingly in an apocalyptic setting of sorts but a retro one in others (where technology doesn't exist). The eyes of the piece are through Mark Rylance's administrator.

Rogen understands how to share the screen and be generous, even when he is playing against himself.The premise of "An American Pickle" reflects this literally. Ben's great grandfather returns to modern day Brooklyn because of a pickle mishap. If you actually think of it, the set up is very heartbreaking yet disturbingly and wonderfully nonsensical.

With a story like "Summerland" which is set during World War II in a small town near the Cliffs Of Dover, it becomes more about the texture of acceptance and perception. It is the story of a woman who lives her life alone for a reason, burned in a way by love, which leaves her alienated just as much by the circumstance as she is by the time.

The simplicity of a film is sometimes a hard aspect to accomplish. While some of the circumstances in "The Pool" are a bit exaggerated, its end result is not.
