    Rachel Seed never knew her mother. Sheila Turner Seed died at the age of 42 when Rachel was just 18 months old. There are a few photos of them together, but Rachel is too young to remember, as well as a photo of her toddler self at her mother’s graveside.

    Can a movie look too good? That thought came to me again and again while watching the Apple TV+ film “Echo Valley,” which director Michael Pearce and cinematographer Benjamin Cracun fill with beautifully composed shots, unexpected angles, and dreamlike imagery.

If only they had listened to me, they might still have control of the franchise (and be a billion dollars poorer).

    It’s not a typical romantic fantasy to imagine yourself slow-dancing with a naked man in a Chinese restaurant. But then, “Jane Austen Wrecked My Life” is not a typical romantic comedy. Writer-director Laura Piani’s debut is more of a winning, minor-key film in which (as the title suggests) the love of literature is at least on the same footing as romantic love.
