“What Sustains” is a documentary that seeks to broaden our mental paradigms about neurodiversity and our perception of reality through a tapestry of personal stories that reflect on harmonious coexistence among all beings. We are greatly limited as humanity by all the concepts and values we have learned culturally. Human beings have far greater mental and emotional capacities than we conceive of as possible. This documentary, born from Validarte, a cultural association that works with neurodiverse people through art, and the French production company ImyProd, is a scientific and spiritual quest to understand our capacity to co-create reality and the importance of diversity and respect for all beings, regardless of their differences.
I can say without question, that this is the first movie I’ve ever seen where art imitates life so much that I could 100% identify with it on a personal level. The predominately Black cast of characters are people with hopes, dreams, fears, and ambitions.
"THANK YOU, Zach Creggar!" Back in 2022, this now established star in the horror film genre gave us the quirkily creepy, unexpectedly funny (at times!) cinematic gem that was "Barbarian". It felt like a cool breeze just washed over us as, for ONCE, the much traversed roads these films tend to go with got an upgrade of uniqueness without sacrificing the ambiance of uneasiness you desire.
The 'Hawkeye' season finale features all kinds of cool characters and resolves its loose plot threads efficiently, yet it's lacking when it comes to the vital development of its characters.
‘The Bear’ Season 2 has all the right ingredients for both comedy and drama.
That gut-wrenching feeling you have while watching it is okay but needed, and you, the viewer, will be okay.
Movies also have the ability to make the audience think deeper about an issue that plagues society. "Blindspotting" does that without shying away from the intense reality of police brutality and racial discrimination.
