20 Minutes (2023)

Audition should be on everyone's list of Greatest Horror Film. So I urge you to give it a watch.  Maybe watch the last twenty minutes with your hands in front of your eyes. 

The gentle, emotional nuances of Evan’s coming-of-age story would have been so beneficial to have incorporated into the life of a POC character. Showing a Black, Asian or Latino young man that is afforded the space to be vulnerable, flawed and sensitive while driving a compelling and widely-loved narrative would have been a game changer.

Juno is extremely funny, very well-written, and contains great performances. The film is also about a very important topic, one that is extremely relevant now: women’s reproductive rights. Is this Oscar-winning film spreading a pro-life or pro-choice message to its audience?

Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes. 

A haunting look at grief, survival, and a mother’s quiet collapse in a world that never gave her room to fall.

If Top Gun needed to say it, Top Gun: Maverick makes you feel the need... the need for speed.
