A veritable army of films that have something to say has provided much to comfort and challenge us these past months. Stretching the genres of horror, romance and war among others, there’s been an artistic option for almost every socially concerned eye.

Woody Allen gives us fair warning: this period piece is a melodrama, a particular genre, he announces early on, that’s a force we must let flow as it demands.
