Sweet Girl's Mind-Boggling Twist Makes the Movie... Feminist
For the most part, 'Sweet Girl' recycles tired hyper masculine revenge tropes, but a surprise twist in the end turns it into a female-centric revenge film.

The pasty grey, which surrounds Pavel's caravan resembles the life inside of it: the 71-old Russian spends the evening of his life in a dismal and monotonous way between marram grasses and sleepy seaports. But at one point Pavel makes a decision: He picks up the telephone receiver, calls his old friend Jack and starts walking – just straight ahead to California.

In The Women and the Murderer, directors Mona Achache and Patricia Tourancheau center women—the very demographic true crime is designed to appeal to.
Suppressed intergenerational family trauma and healing, warm welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe team, and Awkwafina's humor really make this film the real MVP.
Overall this movie was an easy watch, but by no means a worthwhile watch.
Seriously, and this is coming from someone who was extremely skeptical before giving it a watch. I assumed the show would be painfully boring, but one of the show's strongest qualities is you needn't know anything about the lore to get invested in it.
Overall, Sand Castle was another lack luster war drama that will eventually fade into the many similar war dramas I have seen throughout my life.
