Lend Me Three Pounds 

A young boy who runs away from home discovers friendship when he befriends a young dragon in this animated movie.

What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.

As an Indian lesbian living in the United Kingdom, the cards are stacked against Geetika from the start.

During the third act, the momentum stalls, largely due to the film’s obsession with Kubrick’s visual design. But all in all, Doctor Sleep is a cinematic success, defined by rich characters and high powered emotion.

If you’ve been itching for a sign to finally go on that unforgettable summer camping trip, this is it.
