A Rack To Die For (2022)

An Indonesian film that brings strong representation of Asian descent in this heart-warming tale of a woman and her dog.

It is not hard to make a musical biopic that pleases audiences and draws a profit.  Michael is no exception. 

Perhaps the most amazing and groundbreaking quality about The Birdcage is how removed it is from both illness and insensitivity. Whereas films preceding it were often somber stories about the tribulations of being gay in a conservatively straight world, Nichols and screenwriter Elaine May expose the fallacies of conservatism as traditional values are thrown into a more open-minded space. They don’t care how far the community has fallen so much as how high they can rebuild themselves.

Emma Stone (Estella and Cruella) and Emma Thompson (the Baroness) did not come to play around in Cruella. They embodied the perfect balance of sinister and sincere. Estella went through a great hero's journey, and what a journey it was!

The Franke kids seemingly lived a normal life, until their mom met the infamous Jodi Hilderbrandt.
