    Movie Review of Comedy-Drama “Eleanor the Great”
    Dec 9 2025
    We’ve all been taught the wisdom behind the notion of “honesty is the best policy.” It’s sound, solid guidance that’s nearly always appropriate (provided it’s not carried to an unhealthy extreme). But what about the opposite of this advice: Is there ever any benefit in a falsehood, the so-called “good lie?” At first glance, it might be easy to dismiss this idea out of hand, but what if something less than truthful is capable of imparting insight, inspiration, or comfort to someone in distress? In cases like that, can it realistically be summarily rejected? Find out more in a review of the new comedy-drama-character study, “Eleanor the Great,” on the next edition of The Cinema Scribe.

    Life can sometimes present us with hard choices. However, strange as it might sound, death might actually hand us some even bigger ones. That’s the dilemma posed to a recently deceased woman who led a long and largely happy life. But, much to her surprise, now that she's in the afterlife, she faces a decision that’s not at all what she expected, a choice far greater and more difficult than anything she experienced while alive.

    In an age where distinguishing what seems genuine from something that’s clandestinely veiled, it may be difficult to know what to believe. As a result, we might abandon any attempt to identify inherent (and potentially significant) differences. Or, by contrast, we may become so obsessed with reconciling such matters that we descend into a sea of paranoid conspiracy theories, potentially seeing shadows at every turn and placing ourselves on the sidelines of reality with no credibility to our names. In actuality, the “truth” probably resides somewhere in between, but where and how do we draw the lines of accurate and meaningful distinction? Find out more in a review of the new darkly satirical comedy-drama-sci fi fantasy, "Bugonia," on the next edition of The Cinema Scribe.

    In this age of increasingly untrustworthy AI, rampant fake news, and unabashedly self-serving social media, it’s becoming ever more difficult for many of us to distinguish what’s “real” and what isn’t, almost as if we’re stuck in a frightening new Orwellian paradigm. That’s significant, not only for how we perceive existence and our connections (or lack thereof) to it, but also in terms of how we experience and respond to it. But how do we cope with such circumstances? Find out more in a review of the hilarious and thoughtful new Austrian dark comedy-drama-satire, "Peacock," on the next episode of The Cinema Scribe.
