99 Amaranto 

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

Years before Mexican director, Alfonso Cuaron, was winning Academy Awards for movies like Gravity (2013) and Roma(2018), he directed a small, intimate film about two best friends who decide to embark on an improvised road trip to spend time with an older, attractive woman who miraculously agrees to go with them. Y tu Mamá También is a deep journey into the raw sexuality and friendship of the young protagonists, as well as a subtle social and political commentary on Mexico at the time.

Severance is about breaking down facades and confronting old models that were once frameworks of our lives. The somewhat subtle message to me is it’s never too late to fall in love, no matter your insecurities. 

The Invite is witty, dramatic, funny, and probably the best comedy released this year so far. 

This action thriller is made with the hope that the black youth of America will feel empowered, and realize the significance of their heritage.
