A ‘Blaze’ of glory – or indifference?

On this edition of the Cinema Clash: THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS builds on the legacy of classic family-friendly films from the ‘80s; LIFE ITSELF attempts to spew enough multi-generational melodrama to reel in fans of ‘This Is Us’; LIZZIE revisits the notorious case of a New England couple chopped to death in 1892; Michael Moore’s anti-Trump documentary FAHRENHEIT 11/9 asks ‘How the f*** did we get here, and how do we get out?’; BLAZE pays homage to a little-known icon of the lesser-known ‘Texas Outlaw Music’ movement; THE CHILDREN ACT mixes legal drama and melancholy to deliver a quiet, compelling indie; and the documentary LOVE, GILDA reminds us why we loved Gilda Radner.
