La pared gris 

Based on the novel by Jennifer Mathieu and directed by Amy Poehler takes on intersectional feminism.

This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.

The documentary depicts the indigenous people of Mexico with sublime reverence, highlighting a generational harmony with the land.

A film for the post-MeToo era that inverts the narrative with an ironic coda, Tár depicts the duality of a sensitive artist capable of great evil and vile manipulation.

Netflix’s new comedy drama, Don’t Say Good Luck, is a heartwarming tearjerker as well as a love letter to the transformative power of being a theater kid. Directed by Julia Hart, Don’t Say Good Luck follows Sophie (Sunny Sandler), a theater kid who finally gets the lead role in her school’s production of Waitress - just as she finds out her mom Elizabeth (Melanie Lynskey) is dying of cancer. While the singing is by no means spectacular and Sandler’s acting is stiff, the film is grounded in the moving performance of Lynskey as a mother who wants nothing more than for her daughter to achieve her dreams, even if she can’t be there to see them.

The film may be a thriller, but I wasn’t thrilled by it. If anything, I was bored and annoyed.
