'The Polar Express' (2004)
A wondrously imaginative, diverse, and spirited allegory of childhood and the arduousness of adulthood.

Marinka and Kolka's provincial wedding takes place in a roadside cafe, where the newlyweds were only able to rent half the room. The reason for this is an expensive wedding ring. The second half of the room is unexpectedly occupied by a wake. The party does not go according to plan, the bride unsuccessfully tries to make perfect content for social networks and takes out all her indignation on the quiet groom. The offended groom puts the wedding ring on the line in a competition. The offended bride runs away from her own wedding with a widower from the wake, who turns out to be a rapist.
A wondrously imaginative, diverse, and spirited allegory of childhood and the arduousness of adulthood.
Eternals is an interesting concept and unique visuals, but slow pacing and rushed character development suggests it should have been a mini-series.
Joker is a compelling, character-driven, psychological tale that has a message behind the madness.
This film was filled with great plot points. Unfortunately, they all contradicted each other and clashed. Had the premise of Awake been more consistent and accurately portrayed the real world aspect, I think this could have been an extreme success.
While the director didn't set out to make a feminist film, "A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" reads as a reclamation of female power in a patriarchal society.
Elsewhere is less than fourteen minutes long, but it delivers a more emotional impact than most feature-length films.
