Another Simple Favor: Secrets, Style, and a Sip of Queer Representation
Emily and Stephanie are back... just add gin and drama.

Ten years ago, it was difficult to imagine that a blind person could regain his sight with the help of prostheses. Our heroes were able to. Grigory and Antonina underwent surgery to insert an implant into the retina of the eye. After a long rehabilitation, they successfully use the new "bionic" vision. Antonina can even read text written in large letters. Today, science is on the threshold of another amazing technology. An implant for the visual cortex is being tested before our eyes. So far, on monkeys. Dramatic stories in the film alternate with scientific conversations about the structure and meaning of vision.

Director Dana Ziyasheva made her directorial debut, 'Defenders of Life' which focuses on the Ngäbe community, and the hardships Ngäbe girls faced in Costa Rica.
The height of subversive horror cinema is Jennifer’s Body. No, I will never budge on that. Yes, Cabin in The Woods is funny, Scream is very well made, and the Scary Movie franchise is …. there. But nothing is quite as satisfying as watching the teenage succubus that is Jennifer Check rip apart boys. In the post #metoo era where the industry is far from changed, watching revenge flicks like these is probably one of the most cathartic experiences due to the slow-moving progress being made.
While the film didn’t hit me as emotionally as I wanted it to, I still enjoyed it. I simply wish there was a little more, particularly with the world building.
One of the great achievements of this film is its ability to challenge the mind and to force you to try to process information in a different way than you’re used to.
