The little place is Hsiao-Chun’s home and country. As many young Taiwanese, she is torn apart between leaving or staying this place. Expecting a baby, her chances of finding a career abroad are fading, though her connections to the little place are changing like the bustling city that surrounds her.
Overall, Matthias & Maxime doesn't reinvent this romantic concept. But it also doesn't need to. Dolan weaves a story of love, friendship, and life that is both realistic and bittersweet. The film is nuanced and sensual in a way we don't get to see often with LGBTQ characters. It's a film that we can celebrate.
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.
While Mortals Sleep is enthralling quick-fix horror that offers thrills and excitement with such a short runtime and left me truly impressed with all levels of filmmaking.
Critical Incident is worthy of a weekend binge, keeping you guessing right up until the end.
This horror movie combines elements of horror and babysitting with Black representation.
From the cinematography to the script to the acting, Sorry, Baby is undoubtedly one of the best films of the year.
