A Conspiracy (2003)

Behind all the action, 'Space Sweepers' is a surprisingly heartfelt and progressive story about building community.

Although Christmas is a time of year for love and cheer for all, holiday cinema has not always represented diverse communities. Being a holiday with Christian origins, much of its media consists of straight white families or straight white romances. Luckily, modern years have been bringing with them plenty of POC and LGBTQ+ representation that the holidays so desperately need.

Emily and Stephanie are back... just add gin and drama.

Praising Black representation and condemning the power structures that suppress it, a mother delivers an impassioned speech to her distant son.

The biggest highlight of the film is easily the performance of Andrew Garfield. In his days since hanging up his Spiderman suit, Garfield has routinely churned out great performances, and Mainstream is no exception. He proves that he is willing to try anything and go anywhere in a character.
