Ghost-Cat of Yonaki Swamp 

I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before. 

'The Worst Person In The World' follows a part of life I don't see often portrayed on-screen: extended adolescence.

This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.

How closely should film adaptations follow their source material? Let's take a deep dive into "Norma Rae", and find out.

Netflix takes some liberties in its portrayal of Madame CJ Walker, a trailblazing Black entrepreneur.
