Raisa Gorbachev, Nancy Reagan, Jacqueline Kennedy, Margaret Thatcher. Their names have been in the same row for a long time. This film is a bold attempt to rethink the role of Raisa Gorbacheva in the history of modern Russia. How did a girl from a simple village grow into one of the main humanists of the 20th century, revolutionizing many areas of the country's life? Why exactly do we owe reforms in education, medicine and culture to Raisa Maksimovna? What thoughts and ideas voiced by her are still relevant?
I believe in homages, but there's a proper way to borrow a creative idea instead of making it appear as if you hit the copy and paste button. Most likely, anyone is better off simply reading the books. Or just put on Scream.
Hulu continues its Summer releases with The Princess. This film follows the princess (yes, she is unnamed) as she attempts to escape her tower, refusing to be wed to a cruel man vying for the throne. Action-packed and snarky, this is a decently fun film if you need a fighting fix.
“Candyman ain't a 'he.’ Candyman is the whole damn hive." Candyman represents all Black victims of white supremacy, and this art form narratively conveys it in a succinct, adulatory way, the history of which is rare to find.
'Kajillionaire' is a touching and eccentric story about family, crime, and the search for belonging.
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.
