Big Smiles 

Wes Anderson offers a light-hearted comedy in the Middle East centering around Catholic motifs. 

This captivating film can only be truly appreciated by seeing it firsthand. There are not enough words to describe the terrible beauty one experiences while watching it.

What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.

While the director didn't set out to make a feminist film, "A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" reads as a reclamation of female power in a patriarchal society.

Soul takes intangible concepts like self and personality and makes them completely palpable and simple to digest.

Wacky antics ensue when a 100-year-old Jewish man wakes up from a pickled hibernation in the modern world.
