Movies This Week – 28-11-18

It’s a strange one this week as the critics pretty much like everything! Yes, there’s a glow of love towards Creed II, Disobedience and Anna And The Apocalypse. The unusual documentary Three Identical Strangers probably gets the most kindness from on high. Even a sequel with Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet gets a fairly friendly time of it. It must be Christmas…
