4/5
Soul (2020) Lynnette Nicholas It's rare that an animated feature from a big franchise leaves both adult and youth audiences pondering their purpose in life. Yet, Pixar and Disney's 'Soul' does this and so much more with humor, sensitivity and grace.

EMMA. (2020) Lynnette Nicholas Autumn de Wilde's 'Emma' is a thoughtful and charming take on Austen's classic novel. Comedic undertones perfectly balance heavier themes centering the social constructs of marriage, preoccupation with pedigree and excessive privilege. It's a must see.
