Christmas on Holly Lane (2018)

An indie production of a romantic drama with a country-western feel meant to explore lost love.

Dune has stunning visuals, a striking soundtrack, and great performances. But it has issues everywhere from its pacing, to its story, to its diverse representation.

Ready or Not  takes a terrifying situation and has a fun time with horror components. The film melds horror and comedy, creating a cinematic hybrid that flows like running water. Instead of being a film that embraces gut-wrenching sensibilities, it perfectly taps into the energetic nature of hide and seek.

The film basically says she was a lost cause from the start. We don't get a sense of who Marilyn was.

Given Hollywood's history of racism and financial motivations, how much progress can we expect? Plus: a list of excellent films by Black directors.

A family comedy that combines fantasy and normal school life.
