"The Platform" is horror and science fiction film doubling as a visual commentary on capitalism and economic inequality. The movie is not for the faint of heart nor the viewer hoping for political neutrality in their film's depth.
For those tranquil houses with white fences, what is happening behind every closed door?
On top of the phenomenal acting, and great dialogue between the two characters, the cinematography was ravishing! The sound was outstanding! The production design was simple, yet intrinsic. The minimalistic approach in the Malibu beach house represented how little they really have going on in their relationship. The storyline may have been much simpler than "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf," but all the more insightful, and much more animalistic at its core.

Luckily, modern years have been bringing with them plenty of POC and LGBTQ+ representation that the holidays so desperately need.
This animated movie is based on the migration of birds from the north to the south.
