Federica Pellegrini - Underwater 

A movie that brings Indian culture with classic Bollywood themes and electronic dance music.

While this film thinks that it is diagnosing the cause, it is merely diagnosing a symptom instead. 

A South Korean romantic drama film that brings a strong first love story.

Mirrorball is full of passion and love for the medium of cinema and is indeed a fitting love letter to La La Land.

Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse. When bringing together a cast and writing about these characters, the team behind the show expanded upon some of the representation missing from the first trilogy, then seemed to take away representation from the duology. Shadow and Bone seems to play a bit of a push and pull game when it comes to portraying diversity onscreen.

The “gay best friend”, an age-old trope, has been done in countless films and television series. Ranging from one-note (Sex and the City's Stanford and Mario) to nuanced (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Tituss), the gay best friend exists to support and advise the main protagonist, with their conflicts swept to the side.
