  It's that time of year folks. The time of year for those smaller, independent films that make our hearts sweet and our eyes water. Soon you'll be hearing about all of the possible nominees this year. And although September is a bit early for that kind of awards buzz, I believe that ‘Columbus (2017)’ may be an exception.
  
  For starters, John Cho is fantastic. He's always popped up and put his footprint on projects like Star Trek & Harold and Kumar, but never had a chance to go for that more high-brow dramatic role to garner some praise. And now he gets the chance and really uses it to its full potential. His performance is very subtle, just enough to make him seem real but not flat. Also great is Haley Lu Richardson, who you'll know from films such as ‘Split (2017)’ and ‘The Edge of Seventeen (2016)’. She brings a vulnerability to her part that we have had yet to see from her previously. And those are the two themes the film hits so well: subtlety and vulnerability.
