An analysis on how the Garfield movie fails to represent the characters it is adapting, especially the women, by removing their best characteristics.

This year's Cirkusrevy has it all: show, fun, satire, and stars who can make it all float effortlessly," wrote Berlingske's reviewer about Cirkusrevyen 2024, which once again this year serves up satire, parodies, and a fast-paced show with sharp lyrics and beautiful music.

Trolls: World Tour doesn’t just pay lip service to diversity and inclusiveness. There is no white-washing of the voice actors.

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.
