95 minute running time … I loved this one … Charlize Theron is a special woman (born in 1975 so she’s a tail-end Xer). She’s beautiful and smart and chooses to participate in really good, interesting movies. I don’t know why this movie was in my queue (obviously not a John Farr reco since it deals with a heterosexual woman and motherhood and mental health), but I’m glad it was! Green-go, highly recommended, I haven’t seen many movies from 2018, but this would obviously make my top 10 list for that year.

I see now that the director (born in 1977) directed “Up in the Air,” which I hated, and the writer (born in 1978) wrote “Juno,” which I also hated. But they made a winner here, probably due to Charlize’s input. (Ah, they also made “Young Adult,” which I loved.)

Rex didn’t like it, but of course he’s gay. (I still love Rex: “I kept wishing Marlo would dump her deplorable life and marry Tully.“)

… he’s ruining it for all the other kids in the class who are reading like, The Iliad or whatever?
