‘Malcolm & Marie’ Review: A Promising Premise With Disappointing Results
Sam Levinson's latest film can't keep up with the excellence of its performances.

10 Minutes is a short film about grief, memory, and the fragile shape of time. Troy begins what should be the brightest day of his career, but everything shifts when he learns his mother is in critical condition. As he races home, a fallen hourglass from his childhood pulls him into the memories and advice she left behind, reminding him to breathe and stay true to himself when life becomes overwhelming. Through loss, family, and quiet reflection, Troy discovers how quickly a single moment can alter a life and how the smallest memories can carry the most weight. 10 Minutes captures the painful and beautiful truth that time can slip away, yet still leave echoes that stay with us.

Cinderella has been adapted many times over, with the latest adaptation from Amazon sparking controversy over its girlboss agenda. But what of diversity? We rank some of the most popular adaptations for diversity.
'Playing with Fire' was clearly a film made for a kid or tween-ish audience. Keeping that in mind, I thought 'Playing with Fire' was alright, though it did portray some harmful stereotypes.
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.
That gut-wrenching feeling you have while watching it is okay but needed, and you, the viewer, will be okay.
While subverting the conventions of Golden Age cinema with the characteristics of a slasher, Pearl studies the delusions of grandeur inspired by the movies.
