April 24, 2022, second round of the French presidential election. Felix, who has been living in Melbourne for several years, returns to his childhood village in Lot-et-Garonne after the death of his mother to deal with administrative matters, and with the firm intention of voting against Marine Le Pen. He is welcomed by Julien, his older brother, who has remained in the family home. Despite the past complicity and the emotion of the reunion, many things now oppose them
Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be. Emma Stone continues to prove she's one of the finest young actresses working today, and Emma Thompson gives one of the best villain performances in the last decade. The fashion is stunning, the dogs are adorable, and the story is wildly vibrant and original. It's classic movie fun, and it shouldn't be overlooked.
A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.
Juno is extremely funny, very well-written, and contains great performances. The film is also about a very important topic, one that is extremely relevant now: women’s reproductive rights. Is this Oscar-winning film spreading a pro-life or pro-choice message to its audience?
With such a raw look at the 15th century, it seems that Disney was really trying to step outside of its element with this motion picture.
Where we leave the characters is in such a peaceful and optimistic place. It feels well-earned to ensure everyone gets their own specially-crafted happy ending.
There’s enough evidence to insinuate that What We Do in the Shadows is intentionally queer-coded.
