This showcase of Hollywood’s finest talent will certainly be around come awards season, and much deserved
FeaturedThe Gates, John Burr’s new thriller film, is a disturbingly realistic portrayal of three Black twenty-somethings - Derek (Mason Gooding), Kevin (Algee Smith), and Tyon (Keith Powers), as they accidentally take a wrong turn into a gated community that’s more like a modern-day sundown town. The three friends witness a variety of crimes in their new surroundings, including an attempted homicide and an attempted rape. As they attempt to alert the authorities and do the right thing, they are thwarted at every turn by the worst horror stories of American conservatism - racist white suburbanites, reckless gun violence, corrupt police, religious mania, and a megalomaniacal pastor.
Netflix’s new comedy drama, Don’t Say Good Luck, is a heartwarming tearjerker as well as a love letter to the transformative power of being a theater kid. Directed by Julia Hart, Don’t Say Good Luck follows Sophie (Sunny Sandler), a theater kid who finally gets the lead role in her school’s production of Waitress - just as she finds out her mom Elizabeth (Melanie Lynskey) is dying of cancer. While the singing is by no means spectacular and Sandler’s acting is stiff, the film is grounded in the moving performance of Lynskey as a mother who wants nothing more than for her daughter to achieve her dreams, even if she can’t be there to see them.

An attempt to capture nostalgia that unfortunately just doesn’t work
‘Concerto’ is esoteric at best, meant to satisfy the non-melanted’s sense of nostalgia. It is revisionist at worst, cherry-picking images that defy the true tapestry of the human condition.
“Reboot” can be crass and has much room to improve, but with investments of time and care, could flower out of the seed of a vision.
Movies are one of the most influential and universal art forms, which makes representation incredibly important. Incluvie celebrates films that portray people with honesty and depth, while holding space for filmmakers and the industry to do better. It reshapes how people think and how society evolves. Keep fighting the good fight, Incluvie!
Incluvie generates awareness for many wonderful films that have a diverse cast, some of which I didn't even know about! I have certainty that this project will continue to grow and will become a major player in the film industry. Fight on, Incluvie!
Seeing is believing. If our kids don't see people like them in lead roles, directing, or composing, then they will grow up believing these things are not for them. Art is for everyone. Incluvie can help.
Incluvie focuses on a major issue in our society, which is racism. Incluvie will definitely help the world realize the current picture of diversity and inclusion in the movie industry.
As Incluvie writers, we have the power to represent the underrepresented. It is with our words that bring minority directors, actors, and films into the light and out of the darkness. It is the power of good inclusion that is Incluvie's greatest strength.
Incluvie is my go-to when I can’t decide what to watch — it cuts through the noise and helps me find movies and TV shows I actually respect. Instead of just scrolling indecisively, I get great recommendations for what to watch. It feels like my choices make a difference, and everything feels more intentional.
