Watch List Weekly Recap 6/17/22
Sticking my head in from vacation to recommend two movies.

Just one posting this week. Two of my favorite movies from this year’s Sundance arrive on demand the same day, one a mash note to Emma Thompson and the other a prototypical Sundance indie you’ll love or hate.
Two Movies to Charm Your Weekend
The Nut Graf: “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande” (streaming on Hulu, ***1/2 stars out of ****) is an Emma Thompson lovefest in all the most obvious and unexpected ways. A Sundance award-winner, “Cha Cha Real Smooth” (streaming on Apple TV+, *** out of ****) marks the feel-good arrival of writer-director-star Cooper Raiff.
