A Closer Inspection of LGBT Characters in Film
We have a long way to go with LGBT representation in film, especially when it comes to LGBT characters of color and trans characters.

A California barrio is on the brink of eradication after most of the community leaves behind their bodies and the pain of carbon-based life by uploading their consciousness to the Internet.

The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.
The 'Shaft' remake fails to capture Blaxpoitation's rebellious spirit.
It is as bad as your remember, and you are fortunate if you've never watched it. Keep it that way!
Madres takes place in the 70’s following a Hispanic married couple who move to a migrant farming community. Diana, who is pregnant, starts to become suspicious of their new environment after she and the women around her develop strange symptoms. Could it be a curse, a sickness, or something else?
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.
