Can a piece of bad representation truly be reclaimed? We Are Pat (2025) attempts to answer this question.

World-famous drag queen Trixie Mattel shares a year of her life with the world in this vulnerable and uplifting documentary.

The differences in these films could not be more blatant, and yet Gus Van Sant has found a way to portray the same messages and use the same techniques in each.

This side-splitting workplace comedy features a diverse cast and tackles challenging social issues. Other sitcoms should take note.

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.

The highly anticipated 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' has been released in theaters and now it's time to rank all the previous MCU 'Spider-Man' films from Tobey Maguire to Tom Holland based on their awesomeness.
