Darkness Surrounds Roberta (2008)

Years before Mexican director, Alfonso Cuaron, was winning Academy Awards for movies like Gravity (2013) and Roma(2018), he directed a small, intimate film about two best friends who decide to embark on an improvised road trip to spend time with an older, attractive woman who miraculously agrees to go with them. Y tu Mamá También is a deep journey into the raw sexuality and friendship of the young protagonists, as well as a subtle social and political commentary on Mexico at the time.

An uncomplicated, family-oriented man struggles to adjust to an ever-changing world, especially after suffering a loss. Even for the early 1900s, a less complicated time in many ways than now, Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton) is a simple man.

'Blue Beetle' is another solid addition to the superhero film canon.

Darren Arronofsky focuses on diverse and heartbreaking stories about the human experience.

Though 'Bound' technically falls under the genres of crime and thriller, the film's heart is a romance between two women.

"Boston Strangler" pulls the curtain back on a well-documented historical moment involving significant contributions from women reporters.
