Let's Make a Meal in 20 Minutes (1950)

Of the 28 total films I watched, just six of them were queer or featured queer characters in some way.

Adapted from a 2014 novel by Atticus Lish, Preparation for the Next Life is the feature film debut of documentary filmmaker Bing Liu. With the help of screenwriter Martyna Majok, he paints a realistic and somber portrayal of Aishe, a Uyghur immigrant, as she struggles to make a living while undocumented in the United States.

The film reminds us to remember the people who had the courage and dignity that had made the world better, even when the memory was absent.

Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara (2025) is a soulful musical romance led by fresh faces Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. A heartfelt tale of love, grief, and emotional healing that’s taking the Indian box office by storm.

The movie is centered around the title character who goes on a Christmas adventure.

Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.
