"Lorelei"

 2020 1h 51min  Pablo Schreiber plays Wayland, a thirty something who just served 15 years in prison for a robbery. He took the fall for a bunch of guys who owe him big time. After his release he hooks up with his high school sweetheart, Delores (Jena Malone). The movie is almost painful to watch as we see him almost slipping into his old ways. He hangs out with his motorcycle gang buddies but his heart just isn't into it. He also has to deal with Delores's three children from three different flings. Wayland is quite rough around the edges, but deep down, he's a good person. In fact, he has more morals than Delores, who's never been behind bars. I almost gave up on the film several times, but I'm glad I stuck with it. No spoilers, but the last ten minutes of the film are so beautiful, well...you'll just have to see for yourself. 

4 out of 5 stars
