Trans Allegories in Film: 'Robots' (2005)
Animation as a medium of storytelling can be thought to be open to all ages and as I hope my readings will reveal, they could be interpreted as transgender stories.
Bleecker (2023)
Full of heart, humor, and a phenomenal ensemble, this dark comedy is about people who create little distractions for themselves in order to avoid dealing with what's really gnawing at their souls: big questions without answers. BLEECKER tells the intertwining stories of a motley of characters in NYC's Village. The straight face here is Maya, who has come to The Big Apple to find her place in this world. As Maya settles in, she starts to care about these folks, which leads her through twists and turns to her own self-purpose.

Just Mercy: An Admirable Picture
In all actuality, “Just Mercy” should be labeled a “wall punching narrative.” Constantly, the flick throws high forms of adversity our way, amping up our most inner levels of discomfort. Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton wonderfully paces the film in such a way that replicates the slow-burn nature of justice.
