Maheshinte Prathikaaram (2016)

This Japanese Anime movie is about Kanna, a young girl who sets on a quest across Japan to discover her true identity.

This coming-of-age movie is about a group of girl trying to find their missing friend after a wild night none of them can remember.

Having Sersi be the central force in Eternals is unprecedented in its viewpoint and focus, from demonstrating a gentle type of leadership, to being overlooked in a group setting but succeeding in the goal at hand anyways, to having romantic options, to strength and integrity, and majority screen time - for a group that's given less screentime than aliens.

Remakes. Reboots. Reinventions. Redundancy. It's the common practice in Hollywood of late, sometimes offering us victorious reimagining of what can be considered cinematic classics while also, more often, falling flat on their UN-imaginative faces in utter defeat and lackluster results. Admittedly, with this in mind, I went into the newest incarnation of "The War of the Roses" with typical trepidation and cautious optimism.

A wondrously imaginative, diverse, and spirited allegory of childhood and the arduousness of adulthood.
