‘Water Lilies’ and the Journey of Identity - Movie Review
A gentle coming of age story, Water Lilies takes its time in exploring what it’s like to be a young girl trying to make sense of her sexuality in a heteronormative world.

Iori who lives an empty married life with her manager's husband. She lives like an ornamental fish in an aquarium, wearing the beauty that has been given to her by the brand that her husband has prepared. One day, she spills out her true feelings to her husband's driver, Fukuda. Fukuda, who lives a life without her freedom like her, puts himself in her circumstances and unintentionally commits her unfaithfulness. And I'm drowning in an immoral relationship that seeks her body when I see her gap.

So with the recent (rightful) public apologies to Britney from comedians and media for trashing her image in the 2000s, perhaps some people should also give Crossroads the fair chance it deserves. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, and that is fine. Personally, I will take my girl Britney and her movie, over the next testosterone "Dude Flick" any day.
The 1950s lesbian romance is stunning, emotional, restrained, and, simply put, one of the best movies I’ve ever seen depicting a woman-loving-woman (WLW) relationship.
The film basically says she was a lost cause from the start. We don't get a sense of who Marilyn was.
This delightfully odd horror movie presents a whimsically strange alternate reality to younger audiences.
Writing great villains is about striking a balance between charming and evil, so we love them but also love to see them lose.
