Belle
Crit
Sometimes a stacked deck is every bit as satisfying as a fair deal, and a smart screenplay by Misan Sagay and smart performances by Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson, and TV veteran but feature relative newcomer Gugu Mbatha-Raw keep this polemical text alive, despite its having not a single surprise in its 100 minutes.Well, wait, maybe one surprise: the polemics focus mainly on race, but there's a healthy helping of sexual politics as well. And if "slavery is bad" is not exactly a revolutionary message today, the illusion of its revolutionary flavor in the 18th century is well staged.

- The Fault in Our Stars--Weepy teen cancer flick apparently based on a young adult novel; can Shailene Woodley save it?
