“Hunter”: When Enthusiasm and AI Aren’t Enough for a Coherent Story
The Brazilian filmmaker Alexandre Alonso’s Hunter is a film with a lot of ideas, but with very little holding those ideas together.

An eccentric young girl, terrified of growing up, tries to stop her older sister’s wedding.

A film loosely based on the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, with major twists to the original story.
Sisters Mia and Emma discover and hunt down a unicorn with magical blood and want to protect it.
Ripley is a great character because she serves two distinct, but rewarding, purposes in the original film and the sequel.
Few movies deal with aging (particularly aging women) with as much compassion as Relic does. Yet it’s not sickly sweet and not a soapbox rant against ageism. Relic simply is, allowing the horror to seep in quietly and carefully.
An aspect of She-Ra that I find refreshing is even though a large portion of the cast is on the LGBTQ+ Spectrum, being gay is never mentioned. While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.
