Submitted by JonHC on February 4, 2021 - 1:45pmRating: 1.0/5.0 |

Firth and Tucci Deliver Stellar Performances in 'Supernova'
Submitted by JonHC on January 31, 2021 - 5:46amRating: 4.0/5.0 |

Although Supernova doesn’t take us on the incredible interstellar adventure its title suggests, the grounded, emotional journey is still otherworldly.
