‘Water Lilies’ and the Journey of Identity - Movie Review
A gentle coming of age story, Water Lilies takes its time in exploring what it’s like to be a young girl trying to make sense of her sexuality in a heteronormative world.

Bec Charlwood spent most of her 20's with undiagnosed bipolar disorder, she's now been diagnosed, medicated, gone to therapy, processed it all and has made it into a good and funny hour of jokes. It's also a bit about Dolly Doctor, bad grammar, Step Parents and the story of the worst manic episode she had where she got obsessed with one of the greatest bassists of all time. It's me, Bec Charlwood, writing this description by the way. All comedians write their own show descriptions, so I hope that makes reading show descriptions more fun in the future.

Our minds might be so wholly alive with the passions we carry and the plans we make to see these things become all we wish them to be, yet life doesn’t always want to come alongside. Instead, obstacles arise, both physical and mental, which attempt to dissuade us or even prevent us from moving forward, stalling or stagnating the momentum to achieve what we desire. The age-old question remains….can we overcome? Or will we BE overcome?
The assassins in Bullet Train are quirky, deadly, and diverse. Yet, they all seem to be some type of caricature. While the movie is fun and action-packed, it’s also packed with stereotypes that don’t make for the best representation.
Suppressed intergenerational family trauma and healing, warm welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe team, and Awkwafina's humor really make this film the real MVP.
The second episode of the highly anticipated Afrofuturism series delivers with a high-speed race teaching us to go far beyond just accepting ourselves.
I was able to watch the gleefully mesmerizing Disney remake that was Robert Zemeckis’ Pinocchio. I was enthralled by Zemeckis’ iteration.
