I took my 16-year-old daughter to this film instead of going to yet another superhero flick and we were both mesmerized with its joy, wit and poignancy. All the acting was top notch especially Saoirse Ronan. She completely delvers on her character in every way. She is also a dialect master as having a thick Irish accent in real life.
The situations Lady Bird finds herself in are real and touch you in your heart especially if you have teenage children. The way she handles things and the way the story winds itself along keep you enthralled the entire time and not wanting it to end.
Highly recommended for those seeking more than just comic book blockbusters.
  
Annabelle: Creation  (2017)

Starting to become tedious
Quite a standard horror flick, filling in the gaps of the original @Annabelle (2014) film and the first @The Conjuring (2013) film on the origins of the haunted doll. No doubt, there are moments which are sinister, but overall, it fares less on the terror scale than others in this franchise.

It follows the story of a doll maker's family and the tragic loss of their young daughter after a car accident. In a bid to move on, they open their home 12 years later to a group of orphans, with serious consequences.

The idea as been explored many times before and done with varying degrees of success. The chill factor is very low but the story line moves at a steady enough pace to keep you watching.
