Kandahar (2023)

This is not McDonald’s.  This is something different. 

The newest Pedro Almodóvar movie, Pain and Glory, focuses on an aging and debilitated filmmaker, Salvador Mallo (played by Antonio Banderas) reflecting on his life in his old age.

Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian. 

A boy named Max experiences adventure within his own house while staying home alone.

Like many things, like animals and people, they always evolve. When the first humans walked the Earth, they originated from Africa and were all black.

Pose tells stories of queer joy and love in a time of intense hate and sadness.
