David O. Russell's latest film is giving me flashbacks of that video of A-list celebrities singing “Imagine” to us over Zoom
America may have run out of exciting based-on-a-true-story films about the nation's most unsung heroes.detailed a CIA operative who rescued diplomats from Tehran, andexplored the women who helped make the Moon Landing possible.
