Jonathan Demme
Every week we take a look at the latest home video releases. This week: Ikarie XB 1 (1963), Melvin and Howard (1980) and The Grand Duel (1972).

To put it bluntly, Ricki and the Flash is a film which feels unfinished. It’s not a poorly made film, everyone involved seems to be at least putting in some effort, it’s just that between the script and overall editing, large chunks of the film seem to be missing and the film feels like it doesn’t deliver a full story. This is quite surprising, as the cast and crew behind the film are quite talented.
