Though 'Bound' technically falls under the genres of crime and thriller, the film's heart is a romance between two women.
When the world lost Chadwick Boseman on August 28, 2020, we all saw the impact of representation in film. Boseman was not only a Black superhero leading a Black cast in one of the most successful films in history; but his successes paved the way for more, long-overdue diversity in Hollywood.
This is ambitious horror filmmaking, and in a lot of ways, I fully admire its ambitions. For me, the film’s sloppiness defines its overall quality.

The film may be a thriller, but I wasn’t thrilled by it. If anything, I was bored and annoyed.
