Avatars Of The Astral Worlds: Spirit Photography (2023)

This animated movie is based on the migration of birds from the north to the south.

'Kobra Auto Retrato' chronicles the inspiring journey of Kobra, a world-renowned Brazilian muralist and street artist.

Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.

'City of God' depicts the cylindrical cycle of violence that is forced upon the underprivileged.

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. 

As a frequent “the book was better” extoller, this movie was well worth the watch.
