Pavarotti was a fan favorite – it was interesting to compare it to Rocketman, Bohemian Rhapsody, Aretha – all  different – no universal agreement on which was best -  “a labor of love by Ron Howard”, “I’d see it again,”  not a story of redemption (compared to Rocketman) but of “reinvention” and “charisma” of a man who brought “opera to the masses” – “a sanitized version of what was a pretty sleazy life with fabulous music,”

Yesterday  was not very well-received – “didn’t like it at all,” “ music was great, premise was boring,”  a totally non-noteworthy film,” “good if you see it as science fiction,” “ridiculous but left happy just for the music,” “seemed like they selected music and then wrote film as a series of episodes,” most loved Kate McKinnon as manager.

Late Night – “Remake of Devil Wears Prada and not nearly as good,” “amusing but men were stupid,” “ not really believable in terms of late night host’s downslide,”” a good opportunity for Mindy Kaling – producer, screenwriter and actress,”  “John Lithgow was best part of the movie,” “decent film to watch on a plane,” “Emma Thomson was OK, ” “contrast between Emma and Mindy and the dialogue was amusing”
