Films about Human Truths

This is the time of year when we're seeing a lot of movies, and truly "the best of them remind us of human truths," as Frederick Buechner perceptively notes. Here are some of the latest to capture our hearts and minds:

• Coco reminds us to remember and honor those who have gone before us, acknowledge the afterlife, have a passion for life, and create family solidarity through rituals. 

• Lady Bird is a source of wisdom about mother-daughter relationships. 

• The Shape of Water addresses socially relevant themes like prejudice and acceptance of differences, within a multifaceted context of a Cold War era fantasy love story. 

• Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri gives a sturdy depiction of the grace that accompanies turning an enemy into a friend.
