Upcoming Movies with Hispanic Representation in 2021
Now that we're officially halfway through Hispanic Heritage Month, let's look ahead at movies featuring Hispanic & Latine representation through the rest of 2021.
In My Shoes
To be uncomfortable with your sexuality or body is an experience only the person undergoing it can truly understand. For an outsider, especially in a heteronormative society where any movement away from what is considered the norm is seen as a deviant act, it often becomes a subject of ridicule, mockery and even discrimination. The perfect metaphor for it would be that only the wearer knows where the shoe bites, and it is indeed this analogy that becomes the idea guiding the narrative of the film. Made within a time frame of fifty hours, it takes us into the life of a character who battles the same dilemma of trying to fit into society, while internally being fully aware that he is different.

While the sociopolitical commentary may have worked for the similarly-themed Buried (2010), in which we find Ryan Reynolds on his own buried alive in the Middle East, but this futuristic take on the premise is best left as a piece of distracting entertainment. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.
