Heal, Goose (2014)

I compiled a list of women’s basketball movies and documentaries so that every type of fan can find their new favorite watch. 

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.

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.

The relationship between the characters is what makes this film stand out, and it’s just all-around fun.

Queen & Slim is a nice example of representation in both cast and crew

Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.
