A Matador's Mistress (2009)

How powerful can a story be when it is stripped to the bare essentials of just a room, a handful of people and raw human voice?

As a huge fan of Sean Baker’s Tangerine, The Florida Project, and Red Rocket, I’ve wanted to watch Anora since before it even was released. But life got in the way, my watchlist grew, and honestly, the fact that it was marketed as a romantic comedy put me off. Even with all the critical praise and the five Academy Awards it won last year, I just kept postponing it indefinitely.

When Juana tries real sushi for the first time, she is immediatley smitten by it and discovers a passion she never knew she had.

As a musical fan, I enjoyed the film and encourage anyone who likes dark humour and a bit of blood to give it a watch.

This powerful story shines with poetic animation, an exploration of deeper truths, and the protagonist's complex search for identity.

Black Panther was obviously an epic movie and big hit! It was the highest-earning superhero movie of all time in the US! It's pretty clear that Black Panther has more meaning for race and diversity than your average Marvel superhero movie. This movie means a lot in terms of black pride and representation - and has much cultural significance in America as a whole.
