Queer Friendship is Complicated in "Lakeview" (2024)
Tara Thorne’s film is equal parts emotional and comedic, illustrating the beauty and the pain of long term relationships.

We follow one of the most influential bands from the Yugoslav New Wave, Električni Orgazam, on their tour across Canada and USA. Parallel to that, we’re “on the road” through their career, too - we find out how the rock’n’roll band started 40 years ago, what their motive was, ups and downs, what still drives them on. An insightful, realistic and dynamic film depicts the members of the group and their relationships, whilst alternating between dialogues, interviews and numerous archive materials. No censure, no filter.

If I had truly wished to witness "Guardians of the Galaxy", I would have stayed home to do so. Instead, I went to the IMAX and took in this newest incarnation of one of the most recognized and adapted superheroes in the DC Universe. **Sigh** Let me be clear here. I am NOT saying this is an AWFUL film.
