Arrebato 

A K-9 police dog goes undercover to stop an illegal animal smuggling ring and learns a valuable lesson along the way.

Joker is a compelling, character-driven, psychological tale that has a message behind the madness.

The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+. It's an experience for so many that as they’re starting to realizing their true selves, they feel like a monster, especially if they come from unsupportive homes or communities. Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.

I’m still trying to comprehend the psychological and moral implications of their fascination with each other, or why their almost written-in-the-stars depth of connection makes so much sense.

Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.
