Isabel's Choice (1981)

I Love You Forever, marketed as a “subversive” romantic comedy is in fact a painful horror film about a young woman deep in the throes of an abusive relationship.

Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes. 

White audiences saw Peola’s mixed-race passing as a Black woman’s struggle to be white. Black audiences saw it as the rebellion of a Black woman trying to gain privileges only given to white people.

Over the last several years, I have had the privilege of being one of the critics having the opportunity to watch and review several films from writer/director/producer Marcellus Cox, whose efforts are never anything less but grounded, relevant, and steeped in unflinching glimpses illustrating the gripping, inspired, and ever-vacillating realms that make up the human condition.

A historic documentary about the iconic Disney character gives viewers a glimpse into animation.

This inspiring true story falls nothing short of filling the audience with a passion to strive for their wildest dreams.
