Down in the Valley (2015)

Self expression among teenagers is explored in the live adaptation of Jerry Spinelli's novel of the same name.

Eternals is an interesting concept and unique visuals, but slow pacing and rushed character development suggests it should have been a mini-series.

Slumber Party Massacre is a gory film with just enough commentary on sexist excuses, the validity of women's voices, and the inherent feminism of the slasher.

Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian. 

Could you use some hearty laughs? Then you’re in the right place! Enjoy this selection of diverse international comedies.

The three themes of lessons learned from HBO Max's Station Eleven are the same as the pandemic: love, regret, and art.
