"Le Bonheur" and the Feminism of Varda
Effortlessly beautiful and surprisingly tragic.

In the breakfast room of a country house Flora and Edward are placidly finishing off breakfast, comfortably disputing as to whether the honeysuckle or convolvulus is in flower, and joining forces to drown a wasp in the marmalade jar. When a stranger appears at the garden gate his presence both disturbs and fascinates them.
Effortlessly beautiful and surprisingly tragic.
CODA' is about a child of deaf adults torn between staying with her parents and her dreams of pursuing music. This film is a step forward for deaf representation and disability in movies despite negative messages about the burden of actors deaf deafness.
'Free Guy' combines classic Disney (a white heteronormative love story), exploration of popular video games and the culture around them, and Ryan Reynolds adult humor in the best way to make a super fun family flick.
What makes the lighting in Casablanca even more impressive is how it reflects the emotional states of the characters without needing explicit dialogue.
'Jungle Cruise' is fun if you can ignore the racism of the ride it’s based on and the film’s bland, stereotypical characters.
Halle's belting, crystal clear notes, and warm tone infused something into this blockbuster that I thoroughly enjoy.
