Freeze Frame: "Hedda" (R), "Stitch Head" (PG), "The Perfect Neighbor" (R), "Blue Moon" (R)
Tessa Thompson is solid in "Hedda,” the Amazon Prime reimagining of Ibsen's classic tragedy "Hedda Gabler." Writer/director Nia DaCosta has changed the setting and added lesbian and racial components that Ibsen probably never would have imagined. While not all of DaCosta’s changes work and purists may balk, “Hedda” is a mostly effective update that remains true of Ibsen’s themes concerning the dangers of greed, passion and ambition. The animated horror comedy "Stitch Head" is aimed squarely at the kindergarten crowd. It’s about the monstrous creations of a mad scientist who are more scared of humans than vice versa. “Stitch Head” is reasonably well animated, but the weak storyline blunts its overall appeal. The devastating Netflix documentary "The Perfect Neighbor" is both enlightening and heartbreaking. Told mostly through footage from police body cams, it depicts the events leading up to a tragic and utterly senseless murder. It’s sharply edited and skillfully executed. Smoldering racism and convoluted gun laws are exposed in “The Perfect Neighbor, a thoughtful, disturbing and timely social document. Ethan Hawke gives an impressive performance in Richard Linklater’s melancholy “Blue Moon,” a talky drama about famed Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart whose alcoholism and emotional troubles ruined his successful collaboration with composer Richard Rodgers. The whole movie takes place at Broadway’s famed Sardi’s restaurant, when Hart’s life seemed to unravel on the opening night of Rodgers’ biggest hit “Oklahoma!” with his new partner, Oscar Hammerstein. “Blue Moon” is a creative bit of speculation that will appeal mostly to fans of musical theater.
