Mafia nueva 

This list was made with the intention of celebrating comedic craft and a love of seeing more women of colour and newcomers on the scene.

Hitchcock is no stranger to innuendo, as was common in that era, but there was something so sophisticated about his approach to 'Rope', and it starts in the first frame.

The social issues The Half of it takes on are handled well, between the antagonization brought on to Ellie for her race and the conflict that arises from her being gay. Both aspects of her character are built up over the course of the film and don’t seem abrupt or rushed. The film shows racism towards Ellie and her and father in varying levels, from having her schoolmates specifically address her as "Chinese girl” to the fore mentioned way her Dad is treated due to language barriers. The same can be said about Ellie being a lesbian. While she never truly “comes out” in the narrative, that does not undermine her journey of self-discovery from being meaningful. These ideas aren’t thrust upon the viewer in a preachy manor, the scenarios that occur feel believable given the rural setting. The film presents watchers with problems whom those like Ellie may face, and leaves us to sit with them and reflect.

'Little Woods' rethinks the Western genre and examines the misogyny and classism inherent in the healthcare industry.

This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.

We got a movie that takes the old school approach of trying to creep you out with chilling atmosphere more than anything else.
