'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.

The film tells about the "devil's layer cake" of the German occupation regime during World War II, about different attitudes towards the occupiers, which forever divided people into two irreconcilable camps.

Of the 28 total films I watched, just six of them were queer or featured queer characters in some way.
This is not a slavery story, it is a freedom story. The viewers only see Harriet as a slave for the first few minutes of the film. To me, it felt like watching the origin story of a superhero…which is both good and bad.
The biggest highlight of the film is easily the performance of Andrew Garfield. In his days since hanging up his Spiderman suit, Garfield has routinely churned out great performances, and Mainstream is no exception. He proves that he is willing to try anything and go anywhere in a character.
It is as bad as your remember, and you are fortunate if you've never watched it. Keep it that way!
This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.
