Five men and women deal with the absurdity of finding and coming to terms with love in the big city in this at times raunchy film. Micah doesn't understand why his boyfriend won't come out of the closet in a city as liberal as New York City. Jess' days of chasing after men come to an end after finding the right one, while thirty-something Leia can't quite exorcise the ghosts of lover's past. David tries to maintain a long-distance relationship while fighting for his dreams. And Alejandro's spiritual search is curtailed by his partner's sexual cravings.
Life may find a way, but is it worth testing its fierceness and how far it will go?
Documented human suffering is never easy to view or read about and is understandably triggering for many people, but it can be educational, and education is a key to change. An overwhelming amount queer people worldwide (and in my own country) have it far worse than I could imagine, and documentaries such as Welcome to Chechnya bring issues to light that certain groups of people would never see.
Animation as a medium of storytelling can be thought to be open to all ages and as I hope my reading will reveal, 'Nimona' could be interpreted as a transgender story.
This is ambitious horror filmmaking, and in a lot of ways, I fully admire its ambitions. For me, the film’s sloppiness defines its overall quality.
Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing is a gritty, darkly funny thrill ride through 1998 New York, with Austin Butler delivering a raw, magnetic turn as Hank Thompson—a washed-up ex-ballplayer turned bartender whose life implodes after cat-sitting for his punk neighbor drags him into a violent underworld of gangsters, crooked cops, and chaos. Brutal yet unexpectedly hilarious, the film blends noir grit with midnight-movie absurdity, proving Aronofsky can reinvent himself while Butler cements his status as a true movie star.
