Netflix's new thriller Apex, starring Charlize Theron, puts a twist on survival horror. Despite its setting in the beautiful- yet-dangerous Australian wilderness, Apex is not a movie about man vs. nature. Instead, it’s woman vs. man. While checking out the title card and its unpretentious Netflix release might lead viewers to believe Apex is just another celebrity project churned out of the streaming machine, Apex - whether by luck or by intention - is a consistently harrowing film about the reality of being a woman in a public space.

Laggies is a fantastic movie, filled with down-to-earth characters, transcendent themes, and witty comedy

The more we learned with each passing minute the bigger the reveal. This film ends with a serious bang and it was truly a joy to watch.

This glimpse into this world is so captivating that it is an easy must-see, nearly flawless, and exceptional in every way. 

As a frequent “the book was better” extoller, this movie was well worth the watch.
