Listen to Me (1989)

With a quirky outline, Project Hail Mary stays within the bounds of human language and imperial fantasy.

That feeling in your gut which tells you that there’s something out there you should look for and make your own, is what the power represents

‘Barbie’ is an entertaining, meaningful piece of filmmaking with a heartfelt message.

There were too many irrelevant parts that could have been shortened, and too many characters that didn't advance the plot. Either way, some things didn't add up. This was just another played out plot with little, if any, originality in it. By the end of the film, I wasn't happy that she finally got her freedom, I was happy that it was finally over.

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 human experience is described through the eyes of a marginalized outsider, neither judgmental nor invested, just an observant donkey.
