Flying Saucers Over Our Village 

Court TV shows offer uncritical eyes on the systemic inequalities of the legal world.

The Invitation takes a creeping look at two simple premises: reuniting with forgotten friends and new-age spiritualism. Though one seems a bit scarier than the other, the film heightens social awkwardness to a macabre level that puts an uncomfortable look on when the social taboo of grief is put on public display.

A young girl named Hailey Mays sings a country song that is named after the film's title.

How powerful can a story be when it is stripped to the bare essentials of just a room, a handful of people and raw human voice?

This powerful story shines with poetic animation, an exploration of deeper truths, and the protagonist's complex search for identity.

The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+. It's an experience for so many that as they’re starting to realizing their true selves, they feel like a monster, especially if they come from unsupportive homes or communities. Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.
