Noah Baumbach movies tend to be roller coaster rides for our emotions. From Marriage Story to While We Were Young to The Squid and the Whale we follow these characters and either relate to them or are compelled to see how the story ends. While White Noise is a roller coaster ride, it is hard…

Devotion tells the story of the first African-American U.S. Navy fighter pilot who fought during the Korean War and beautifully shares this story with the viewer. The movie focuses on not only the struggles that Jesse went through while serving but also highlights the…
