# Mata Hati Ibu (A Mother's Heart) The story revolves around Embun (Norlia Ghani), who is destined to become blind due to hereditary blindness when she reaches 40 years old. Embun's husband, Salim, has abandoned Embun along with their son Aris (Mustaqim Bahadon) and Rizal (Riz Amin), an adopted son whom she has raised since childhood. Salim cannot accept the reality of Embun becoming blind. Embun raises both Aris and Rizal while being blind. As Aris and Rizal grow into adulthood, Aris is constantly haunted by his father's words that his fate will be the same as Embun's—hereditary blindness. Aris is fearful and secretly begins to accumulate wealth through illegal means for his future and Embun's future, without Embun's or Rizal's knowledge. Aris is determined to bring Embun to live with him in Kuala Lumpur, and Rizal feels neglected as he realizes he is merely an adopted son living on Embun's kindness.
While it is more than established that Halston’s life is far from a fairytale, the narrative suffers as a result of the decision to revolve more around sex and drugs than his artistry, it likely does a disservice to his cultural impact by pulling focus from his achievements.
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a film that is jarring within the first five minutes. Being at the edge of my seat from the very beginning made me feel both excited and frightened for what was to come, and it did not disappoint. Led strongly by Jennifer Lawrence as Grace, a woman trapped in the “American dream”, this film shows that society tells us what should make us happy. Many critics describe Die My Love as being about post-partem depression, but it is so much more. After moving to a secluded home with her husband Jackson, Grace finds herself in the throes of motherhood. Feeling isolated in her physical environment and her romantic relationship, Grace suffers psychologically. Lawrence brings a sense of rawness and humor to the screen that is often uncomfortable. Robert Pattinson adds to the discomfort as her loving, yet lost husband Jackson, who cares about his wife but does not know how to help her. Lynne Ramsay has presented a film that forces us to look at the realness of life, and what happens when the promise of what should make you whole fails.

A throwback to the last months of the 20th century in this comedy film.
Mr. Malcolm's List is a pleasant promenade through a fantasy Regency-era England filled with people of color. For fans of Bridgerton, this is the PG version of the show, but with completely colorblind casting and a much lighter tone.
