'Hatching' - Social Media as the Modern Cardboard World
Hanna Bergholm's 'Hatching' shows us that the modern version of the cardboard world trope is social media.

Eve is like any other millennial, full of ideas, hopes and dreams. But her world comes crashing down when she loses her father, gets fired, and is dumped by her boyfriend. She feels like a complete failure. All she has left are the words of her deceased father, and the hope that they can inspire her to turn her life around. So Eve sets off on the ultimate challenge, to ride a bicycle up Doi Inthanon, Thailand's highest mountain. Along the way Eve makes some new friends. Dam, an avid cyclist, Nuea, a quirky taxi driver, and Arm, a bike shop owner. The challenge of cycling up Doi Inthanon tests Eve in ways she never imagined. Now Eve must overcome the physical and emotional obstacles she faces, or risk failing again. Will she finally reach her dreams and learn the true meaning behind her father's inspirational message?

Joel Coen has gone solo to create perhaps the greatest version of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' since Shakespeare himself.
I highly recommend Dark Waters. It’s a highly engrossing picture, which lends itself to cautionary storytelling. The dark information continually grows, inspiring change and accountability altogether. Overall, Haynes’ picture will not be known for its inclusiveness--but it will be known for being a fantastic, engrossing film.
Yes, "Nope" is definitely about the modern obsession with turning tragedy and horror into a spectacle for people’s enjoyment. But it's also about the power of looking, who has the right to look, and what happens to those who are looked upon.
I’m disappointed in The Woman in Cabin 10, but that’s at least in part because of my love of Ruth Ware’s novel.
"Rodgers' & Hammerstein's Cinderella" wasn’t just a fairytale, it's a Black girl's fairytale. It was a fantasy world where the undeniable beauty of Black girls and Women was celebrated and beloved.
