Kill Bill Volume 2 Review: A Worthy Sequel With Hidden Depths
I highly recommend Kill Bill: Volume 2. In classic Tarantino fashion, specific sections of the film are a tad too long, but overall, it’s a wonderful piece of escapist fiction.

Dr. Micah Bennett is a seemingly normal psychologist and father, but in reality he is descended from the Angels, gifted by God with the ability to heal. He must keep this power secret from those who might use him – or destroy him. When his daughter purchases an antique mirror in a thrift shop, she unwittingly opens a gateway for a demon from the Abyss to enter our world. The fiend uses his sorcery to manipulate Micah's friends and family in an attempt to turn him to evil. Drawing on the strength given him by God, Micah challenges the demon to a final confrontation that will shake the boundaries of Heaven and Hell.

“There’s always something you can do…to make people feel like they’re welcome”
Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
At its heart, it’s a fond tribute to an influential artist and thus one that can speak to everyone’s inner artist, even if it lacks the sincere commentary you may wish to see.
American Fiction is a genuinely entertaining film with a few lessons.
