Bizet: Carmen 

From the cinematography to the script to the acting, Sorry, Baby is undoubtedly one of the best films of the year.

Remember when there was this amazing comedy titled "National Lampoon's Vacation"? To this day, it is a true classic of the genre and certainly put a new spin on precisely what KINDS of insanity could occur when taking the fam on the road. Then, like with so many successful films, there was the sequel (which for me was even MORE of a classic than the original!). However, the third film emerged....and then a fourth. Suddenly, the luster was gone and disappointment set in.

It took writers D.B Weiss and David Benioff two years to give us a promising final season. Two. Years. It was just going to be six episodes, which was short considering that all the other seasons — except season 7 — were 10 episodes. 10. 6 wasn’t enough, and even HBO wanted to give the writers more episodes. More seasons, even. However, the writers wanted to get out of the show as quickly as possible to work on other projects. This abruptness is clearly shown in this season.

The film seems like an extreme interpretation of the conspiracy theorists that exist in real life. And then, there’s the twist.

This powerful story shines with poetic animation, an exploration of deeper truths, and the protagonist's complex search for identity.

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