It’s 1998 and not much at all has changed for the crude cartoon teenagers, who are still wearing their Metallica and AC/DC shirts, respectively. ‘BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO THE UNIVERSE’: Ah yes, the moronic metalheads are back in their latest feature-length adventure, “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe,” a surprisingly effective follow-up to 1996’s “Beavis and Butt-Head Do America” and an extension of the original “Beavis and Butt-Head” cartoon, a staple of 1990s MTV. The blessing of the film is the film itself, and the extraordinary grace that Davies extends toward his subject, a poet who made his pain public but had to keep his intimate life private. While older Siegfried (Peter Capaldi) receives a blessing from a priest while converting to Catholicism, much to the chagrin of his adult son, George (Richard Goulding), the true benediction of “Benediction” is much more than just the on-screen ritual. ‘BENEDICTION’: In Terence Davies’ “Benediction,” a moving portrait of English war poet Siegfried Sassoon, the blessing bestowed is both literal and cinematic.
