'La Loca Y El Feminista' (MiamisFF Review): A Necessary Dialogue
She is being made to justify why she doesn’t believe he’s a feminist, instead of him having to justify his choice to claim he is one.

Julitta is 99 years old. The camera lingers on the skin of her face and hands; her wrinkles are traces of stories. Alzheimer's disease is eating away at her memory. Parts of her forget, while others remember. Set against vivid and sometimes distorted compositions of her memories, excerpts of her diaries are whispered by actresses recounting her past in a Gulag forced labour camp in Siberia during the Second World War. This short film brings to life this Polish teenager's experience of deportation and the events that followed, intertwining them with her present. Her apartment is now a witness to her buried memories and her illness. Julitta is now 100 years old.

As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes. Look, I am all for seeing more than one film for certain originals that made a splash, ie: "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", etc.
Armed with a $400M budget and Tom Cruise’s death-defying stunts, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning delivers pulse-pounding action even as its plot falters. From underwater silence to high-altitude madness, it's pure adrenaline powered by old-school movie magic — but is this really Ethan Hunt’s final mission?
Two young girls meet in the same neighborhood unexpectedly as they embark on a new adventure using their imaginations as this movie brings strong representation among women.
It’s the most loving tribute to cinema and to Ingmar Bergman, set in world that feels so habitable that I felt like only re-watching this for eternity, because of how inviting it looks and feels.
The film blends reality and the supernatural world together, leaving the viewer unsure of what’s real and what’s merely a figment of Michael’s agitated imagination.
