Alice Reese, Herald-Banner movie critic, says Matt Damon's portrayal of an Oklahoma oil-field worker fighting to prevent his daughter from being convicted of murder in France in "Stillwater" is very believable because Damon spent time with roughnecks in preparation for the role.  She says the story is loosely based on the murder case of American Amanda Knox.  Alice also reviews "The Green Knight"and "Jungle Cruise."
