A Fun, but Bumpy, Road with “Onward"
While the film didn’t hit me as emotionally as I wanted it to, I still enjoyed it. I simply wish there was a little more, particularly with the world building.

A short film from the mind of MAKE. ART. NOW. This short was self-filmed during the Los Angeles COVID-19 shutdown. When Josh, a YouTuber, unexpectedly receives a package, it starts him on a journey of wit, brilliance, and over the top, determination. What started as a lens review, quickly morphs into a story on it's own, thrusting our protagonist into a world of sci-fi fantasy and neo-noir.

The height of subversive horror cinema is Jennifer’s Body. No, I will never budge on that. Yes, Cabin in The Woods is funny, Scream is very well made, and the Scary Movie franchise is …. there.

In the post #metoo era where the industry is far from changed, watching revenge flicks like these is probably one of the most cathartic experiences due to the slow-moving progress being made.
An impressive narrative structure, a perfect use of the continuous shot technique, and great interpretations make "Boiling Point" one of the best films of 2021.
