Based on the idea, "What if Bonnie and Clyde had kids?", the story takes place in the wild midland of Malaysia, in the aftermath of a robbery during which an outlaw couple decide to abandon their kids, Maya and J, in a safe house and make a run for it. Unfamiliar with their surrounding world and eager to be reunited with their parents, Maya and J decide to live their lives on their own terms. As the story progresses, the kids begin to replicate the actions and wild behavior of their parents in an attempt to find a way to get close to them.
Though often underwhelming as a whole, Nevertheless is worth the watch because of the relationship between Sol and Jiwan. It is a stunning, refreshing take on the friends to lovers trope that LGBTQ media has been missing.

The film seems like an extreme interpretation of the conspiracy theorists that exist in real life. And then, there’s the twist.
My review’s title is a nod to Shakespeare and is entirely deliberate. The original movie portrayed the high-end fashion world as a brutal arena of plotting, backstabbing, and betrayal, and most Shakespeare’s plays depend on these plot devices. The Devil Wears Prada 2 uses the same formula, and is, plot-wise, almost identical. Once again, we plunge into the cutthroat world of Runway, where to get and stay at the top, you must let go of your principles and moral sense. The only thing different is that due to the digital era, Runway is not a print magazine anymore, but one that is running online.
As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes. Look, I am all for seeing more than one film for certain originals that made a splash, ie: "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", etc.
