'My Perfect Romance' Came at the Right Time
A film that focuses on an algorithm for a dating app that will bring viewers in for a surprise.
Love is Outdated
On the eve of her 30th birthday, Haruka is desperately searching for a husband when she runs into her colleague Ikki at a matchmaking event. A habitual liar who joined for fun using a fake profile, Ikki mocks her for chasing romance instead of marriage. Tired of repeated heartbreak, Haruka decides to follow his advice and focus on finding a spouse rather than finding love. Around them, others pursue marriage for very different reasons: Mizuki seeks a home through a sugar-daddy arrangement, Takeshi joins matchmaking for his mother’s sake, Yuto is earnest but clueless about women, and high-schooler Noai excels at matters of the heart. Meanwhile, a same-sex couple, Hiromi and Takumi, disagree over whether they should have a wedding. As these unlikely people fall for partners who seem completely wrong for them, they must confront a difficult question: can marriage bring happiness without love?

Is Anyone Really "Awake?" or Did This Movie Bore You to Sleep?
This film was filled with great plot points. Unfortunately, they all contradicted each other and clashed. Had the premise of Awake been more consistent and accurately portrayed the real world aspect, I think this could have been an extreme success.

"She’s Gotta Have It” was Ahead of the Curve in Portrayal of Female Sexuality
In Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It (1986), we follow the love life of powerful female protagonist Nola Darling (Tracy Camilla Johns) and explore the relationship dynamics she has with her partners. She sees three men simultaneously: Greer Childs, (John Canada Terrell) Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee), and Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks). Though an 80’s film, She’s Gotta Have It is surprisingly progressive with its themes of female sexuality, although at some points in the film it is handled clumsily. Overall Nola is an incredibly compelling character especially for modern women, as we as a society acknowledge female sensuality more and more without the negative stigma.
