'The Birdcage' is a Fun Film to Watch for Pride Month
The relationship between the characters is what makes this film stand out, and it’s just all-around fun.

Gastón (Carlos Echeverría) arrives in Necochea. There he meets Julia (Leticia Bredice), a young veterinarian who, after discovering that the foot-and-mouth disease vaccines are adulterated, is found hanged in a shed. He will be blamed for the crime and will try to understand what happened, while avoiding being lynched.

I can say without question, that this is the first movie I’ve ever seen where art imitates life so much that I could 100% identify with it on a personal level. The predominately Black cast of characters are people with hopes, dreams, fears, and ambitions.
You can have the best filmmaker and cast in the world, but if the script is lacking, you’re in a troublesome state. Such is the case with Gemini Man, a film full of tremendous artists.
In season 3 of 'Umbrella Academy', Diego, Allison, and Viktor finally get character arcs that address their unique experiences as a Latino man, a Black woman who lived through the 60s, and a trans man.
With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.
Overall this movie was an easy watch, but by no means a worthwhile watch.
