A Colorful Revision of "Clifford the Big Red Dog"
"Clifford the Big Red Dog" retells the adventures of Emily and her striking puppy to highlight the joy of being different and inspire another wave of young fans.
Angel Pardalos
On new year’s Eve of covid, the protagonist has been left alone at home due to quarantine. So she decides to cheer herself up by writing a script about her life. As she humorously says, “Since no one wrote me a play-script, I write it myself! I am my muse.” She writes as the pictures come to her mind without following a linear, temporal narrative, in a simple way and simultaneously with moments of poetic realism. The audience watches how her thoughts come to life on the screen and how she imagines them. That is why in every scene, we see her in a different place, with other clothes, a different mood, and a different art. She imagines that she is acting in theater, in a studio, in the park, at her house, in Kavala, at sea, in the snow, singing and dancing. She transforms some memories into digital art, animation, and into poetry. This is how this multi-art spectacle is created and will make the audience smile and be moved.

This current year, as well as the past several, has seen a slowly building increase in something the horror genre has required for quite a while in this critic's opinion...originality. I've stated before that I am very hard to please when it comes to this vein of the film industry's offerings, always leaning more towards that which sends chills through my very being in lieu of buckets of blood and gore.

"First Girl I Loved": A Well-Intended but Ultimately Flawed Story of Identity
Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian.
