Here We Are (2023)

Kate Winslet and Saorise Ronan deliver stellar performances in a film that doesn't live up to its potential.

Stand and Deliver is an inspirational classic from 1988 starring Edward James Olmos as Jaime Escalante, and his class of rag tag students in East Los Angeles. It’s the story of how a new teacher shows a motley group of students in the inner city with backgrounds as gang members, dishwashers, and mechanics — the power of self-determination. He teaches the teenagers to believe in themselves through algebra and calculus.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

A 3D animated film centered on chasing fame in the humble stomping grounds of middle school. Unfortunately, while the protagonist dreams big, the plot falls short and fails to capture even a semblance of diversity.

The film centers around two young women, Becca and Sam, who were once high school sweethearts until they reconnect in their town.
