"So much of 'The Hidden World' is stuffed with filler material.

With a Tomatometer Score of 90 percent and an Audience Score of 91 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, this classic has much to recommend it. The New Yorker's Richard Brody said, "As much an anthropological adventure as a romantic rhapsody," and Variety's staff noted, "This is a robust romantic drama of a native-born's return to Ireland. Director John Ford took cast and cameras to Ireland to tell the story against actual backgrounds." It's screening at Silverspot Cinema Metsquare (300 S.E. Third Ave.) through Wednesday, March 20. Click here for showtimes and tickets. With a Tomatometer Score of 79 percent and an Audience Score of 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Green Book" is well worth a watch. The San Diego Reader's Scott Marks said, "Is it a feel-good charmer poised to rake in greenbacks and Oscar gold? You bet! But don't let that keep you away from this overall well balanced (and timed) look forward from the safe distance of America's motley past," while Christopher Orr of the Atlantic stated, "First-rate execution can't solve all of a film's problems, but Mortensen and Ali offer a reminder that it can solve an awful lot of them."
