"Backrooms" Succeeds
We got a movie that takes the old school approach of trying to creep you out with chilling atmosphere more than anything else.

A self-proclaimed messiah moved into a town that is in need of change preached the citizens to eradicate problems to make their lives better and even said to eradicate it in 3-6 weeks. After a week or so, blood flows through the trees, rivers, city town and the citizens are suffering because of the interest of people numbered by just our fingers.

The repeated actions, the blood on the petals, the rustling under the floor…An ambient short horror film takes us into another realm.
'Airplane Mode' is a young adult movie that is about a woman who learns to step away from her smartphone, and from social media.
'The Lost Daughter' doesn't paint over the choices Leda and Nina make as mothers as right or wrong but examines the messy in-between.
Disney has hopefully learned some lessons since 1994. Are those lessons reflected in the 2019 remake of "The Lion King?"
The social issues The Half of it takes on are handled well, between the antagonization brought on to Ellie for her race and the conflict that arises from her being gay. Both aspects of her character are built up over the course of the film and don’t seem abrupt or rushed. The film shows racism towards Ellie and her and father in varying levels, from having her schoolmates specifically address her as "Chinese girl” to the fore mentioned way her Dad is treated due to language barriers. The same can be said about Ellie being a lesbian. While she never truly “comes out” in the narrative, that does not undermine her journey of self-discovery from being meaningful. These ideas aren’t thrust upon the viewer in a preachy manor, the scenarios that occur feel believable given the rural setting. The film presents watchers with problems whom those like Ellie may face, and leaves us to sit with them and reflect.
