“Hunter”: When Enthusiasm and AI Aren’t Enough for a Coherent Story
The Brazilian filmmaker Alexandre Alonso’s Hunter is a film with a lot of ideas, but with very little holding those ideas together.
Din Don: Una parrocchia in due
Donato, a scoundrel music manager, to escape the two henchmen of a boss who, due to his inefficiency, has caused him to lose a lot of money, taking advantage of a letter from his uncle the bishop, introduces himself to the parish priest of a village church, Don Dino, dressed as a priest, and pretends to have been sent there by the bishop as assistant parish priest. Don Dino's church is always empty. In fact, the town's faithful frequent the new church, run by Don Gabriele, a pimp priest who knows how to deal with people. Donato's arrival initially seems like the final blow for Don Dino's church: Donato doesn't know where to start a mass, he has never confessed or married anyone, the mere idea of performing an extreme unction scares him. Don Dino begins to argue with Donato: he seems anything but a priest. But little by little, Don Donato's extravagant ways, his open-mindedness as a "sinner", his mentality as a rock priest, begin to attract the faithful.

Honey Don’t!: A Messy Queer but Mischievous Comedy
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.

'The Half of it' Handles its Presented Social Issues Thoughtfully
The social issues The Half of it takes on are handled well, between the antagonization brought on to Ellie for her race and the conflict that arises from her being gay. Both aspects of her character are built up over the course of the film and don’t seem abrupt or rushed. The film shows racism towards Ellie and her and father in varying levels, from having her schoolmates specifically address her as "Chinese girl” to the fore mentioned way her Dad is treated due to language barriers. The same can be said about Ellie being a lesbian. While she never truly “comes out” in the narrative, that does not undermine her journey of self-discovery from being meaningful. These ideas aren’t thrust upon the viewer in a preachy manor, the scenarios that occur feel believable given the rural setting. The film presents watchers with problems whom those like Ellie may face, and leaves us to sit with them and reflect.
