Banged Up (2003)

Of the 28 total films I watched, just six of them were queer or featured queer characters in some way.

Although not canonically aromantic or asexual. the stories and personalities of these Disney princesses resonate with members of the aroace community.

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

With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.

Since Season 2 of Peacemaker is currently airing, let’s revisit the movie that started it all.
