Solo: A
Star Wars Story is about to land in theaters after a highly - publicized and turbulent flight, and if you'll allow me to belabor the
metaphor, it sounds as if director Ron Howard managed to pull this particular spaceship out of a potentially disastrous nosedive and smooth things out in a satisfying way.
In addition to all the fall movies rich in
metaphors for Trump, the multiplex is also offering numerous escapes, from the coming - of - age period piece Lady Bird to a new
Star Wars to another movie about proud moments in British history, The Darkest Hour (if Dunkirk wasn't enough stiff upper lip for you).
