Forty-Eight Man 

A review of the Ryan Polomski documentary featuring the story of Basketball star Raymond Lewis.

I have no idea how getting an abortion is still not a basic right at this point, but that means the fight is far from over. So, films like Happening are ever-relevant.

Poor Black characters are usually surrounded by crime and violence, while poor White characters are portrayed as noble and hard-working.

An aspect of She-Ra that I find refreshing is even though a large portion of the cast is on the LGBTQ+ Spectrum, being gay is never mentioned. While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.

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 emotional, frightening, and dreamlike story examines the ways actresses are exploited in the name of art.
