The film captures the meanderings and encounters of players striving to survive on an island and within the confines of their rooms. A persistent question lingers: will the rain ever arrive? The game spaces remain elusive, existing beyond the boundaries of our interactions. The interface transforms into a unique universe, a realm of worldwide social interaction reminiscent of a real-time film experience.
This film was filled with great plot points. Unfortunately, they all contradicted each other and clashed. Had the premise of Awake been more consistent and accurately portrayed the real world aspect, I think this could have been an extreme success.
It’s the most loving tribute to cinema and to Ingmar Bergman, set in world that feels so habitable that I felt like only re-watching this for eternity, because of how inviting it looks and feels.
Taylor Swift dazzles many fans with remixes of her country and pop singles in her Reputation Stadium concert tour, becoming a successful concert film.
Even with its straightforward premise, “Richard Jewell” is ramped up by exceptional drama. In all honesty, the performances are out of this world. As Jewell, Paul Walter Hauser becomes a walking representation of gullibility. His bumbling antics create the perfect hero, and very quickly, we feel the societal heat that surrounds our protagonists.
The “gay best friend”, an age-old trope, has been done in countless films and television series. Ranging from one-note (Sex and the City's Stanford and Mario) to nuanced (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Tituss), the gay best friend exists to support and advise the main protagonist, with their conflicts swept to the side.
Of the 28 total films I watched, just six of them were queer or featured queer characters in some way.
