dream party 

A sweet slice-of-life anime that visualizes all the ways we creatively hide our vulnerabilities from the world.

"Abominable" is an exciting story for children and a great step forward for positive Asian representation.

Even without the messaging, Mercy does not hold up as a movie. It's sloppily done and the mystery doesn’t tie together at the end.

I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before. 

A surprise sequel takes place ten years after the original movie based on the title of the same name, but with a twist to the fairy tale.

The second season arrives over three years after its first. While late on arrival, most audience members will be happy.
