Trauma Profiteering in Jordan Peele's 'Nope'
Nope succeeds tremendously in dealing with higher concepts in an engaging and highly entertaining manner without sacrificing theme or personality.

Directorial debut by Kiridoshi Risaku, an accomplished film and cultural critic and author of "Miyazaki Hayao no ‘sekai'" and "Kaiju tsukai to shonen: Ultraman no sakka tachi". Mikoto (Mikoto) and Takashi (Sumori Ryubun) graduated from the same high school. Now in their twenties, they meet by coincidence and hit it off, and they decide to spend the night together. But Takashi invites her not to a love hotel, but to their former high school. Mikoto has only bad memories from high school, and she realizes that Takashi also is looking for a chance to redo his teenage years.

Although Tuner is technically a heist movie, music and sound are woven into almost every aspect of Niki’s story. That’s what made Tuner such a pleasant surprise. I expected a film about music and discovered a heist movie, only to find that music was still at the heart of it.
'Ms. Davis’ Close Friend' will make you think about the meaning of death and what it means to be alive, and if there’s really a race to be run with one's inevitable demise.
Portraying how easy it is to be an ally heavily benefits the majority audience. The more we encourage it, normalize it, and give people the tools to become one, the sooner we can co-exist peacefully.
Emily and Stephanie are back... just add gin and drama.
