  1. One evening, my mother was watching a show on TV, and I was curious. Lots of well-dressed people talking and laughing and clapping. I didn't understand a word they were saying, but I kept hearing "Ryans Dotter...Ryans Dotter..."

    Me - Ryans Dotter? What's that mean?"

    (Mom translated it for me)

    Me - Oh....why is she important?

    Mom - It's a movie.

    Me - They're going to show it?

    Mom - No. It's an awards show.

    Me - Ah! And they're going to give her an award...

    Mom (sensing trouble) - Not her, the movie. And we don't know yet if it's going to win.

    Me - ...?

    Mom - Be quiet.

    (Minutes later a man was speaking, saying "Thank you" or something).

    Me - Is that Ryan?

    My mother finally grabbed me, locked me in my room, and threw away the key.

    So Mom, I'm sorry I was being such a pest. I dedicate Ryan's Daughter. I know you will enjoy it where you are.

    Very funny movie, with absurd situations and some surreal sequences. The cast give excellent performances.

    Leave No Trace. 2018. Directed by Debra Granik. With Ben Foster, Thomasin McKenzie.

    A homeless veteran (Will) and his daughter (Tom) live illegally in a public Park. They are discovered and placed in the care of Social Services. Tom is unwilling to adapt to his new environment, but Tom wants to be independent.

    Excellent and subtly powerful movie, with great performances by the two leads and Dale Dickey in a small role.
