Dead Name (2024)

Remakes. Reboots. Reinventions. Redundancy. It's the common practice in Hollywood of late, sometimes offering us victorious reimagining of what can be considered cinematic classics while also, more often, falling flat on their UN-imaginative faces in utter defeat and lackluster results. Admittedly, with this in mind, I went into the newest incarnation of "The War of the Roses" with typical trepidation and cautious optimism.

Dead Poets Society relies on patriarchal tropes such as overbearing fathers, contrived brotherhood, and faux-individuality in order to portray its straight white male characters as oppressed.

As a musical fan, I enjoyed the film and encourage anyone who likes dark humour and a bit of blood to give it a watch.

This inspiring true story falls nothing short of filling the audience with a passion to strive for their wildest dreams.

As a frequent “the book was better” extoller, this movie was well worth the watch. 

The documentary depicts the indigenous people of Mexico with sublime reverence, highlighting a generational harmony with the land.
