That alone would provide more than enough fuel for viewers to be fascinated throughout this documentary’s runtime, but there is free and unfettered access to the former president himself. The types of topics that are broached during 41 seem to know…

It’s become cliché at this point to grouse that Hollywood doesn’t make good movies anymore. And yes, judging by the superhero/sequel-obsessed box office results from the past couple of years that argument can reasonably be made. And then along comes a movie like Your Sister’s Sister, which totally deflates the argument that good films no longer find their way out of Hollywood. Absolutely beautiful in its scripting, casting and acting,…
