*TW This film depicts graphic violence against women and scenes including rape.
A twist on an era that historically centers around female empowerment, Edgar Wright’s latest film, Last Night in Soho is striking in so many ways- many of which I didn’t expect.

With the Rise Of #FreeBritney, It's Time to Re-Examine "Crossroads"
So with the recent (rightful) public apologies to Britney from comedians and media for trashing her image in the 2000s, perhaps some people should also give Crossroads the fair chance it deserves. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, and that is fine. Personally, I will take my girl Britney and her movie, over the next testosterone "Dude Flick" any day.
