"Carol": A Gorgeous LGBTQ+ Romance
The 1950s lesbian romance is stunning, emotional, restrained, and, simply put, one of the best movies I’ve ever seen depicting a woman-loving-woman (WLW) relationship.
Creatura
In a provincial northern town, Nina, a shy and insecure young gymnast secretly adores Gio, another popular and easy-going girl from the town. When Gio notices Nina's awe of him, he decides to make an adept of her, in an ambiguous and abusive game, disorienting Nina, who, subjugated, finds herself at the mercy of Gio's manipulations and whims, which will bring her to a point of no return, from which she will never be able to free herself, even by changing her life and town.

Short Film Review "Jamarcus Rose & Da 5 Bullet Holes" - Chasing ambitions, accepting guidance, finding brotherhood, and realizing the fragility of life
Over the last several years, I have had the privilege of being one of the critics having the opportunity to watch and review several films from writer/director/producer Marcellus Cox, whose efforts are never anything less but grounded, relevant, and steeped in unflinching glimpses illustrating the gripping, inspired, and ever-vacillating realms that make up the human condition.
Amazon Prime's Pretty Lethal: Makes No Sense, Is No Fun
I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before.
