The Cogill’s appear perplexed by writer, and director Noah Baumbach’s expensive, absurdist comedy set in the 1980s. Sometimes it works, but more often, it doesn’t.

The Cogill's are highly enthusiastic about Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical, Oscar-contending film, “The Fabelmans,” which emulates the legendary director as a young boy growing up wide-eyed about the movie-making experience. “Women Talking” is a difficult true story told with honesty and eloquence about a religious community of women terrorized and abused by the men i
