The Good Shepherd is an exceptionally well-constructed, written and acted film that ultimately holds more allure in the parts of its story it chooses not to tell rather than those that it does. So . . .

Dreamgirls was one of the first Broadway shows I saw as a young child, and the film, like the show, has left me with much the same response – incredible singers and an excellent story that becomes . . .
