Matriarch (2019)

Set in a future dystopian United States in which water is running out, Julia Hart’s Fast Color (2018) is a refreshingly different take on the superhero film.

The external threat invaded the domestic environment at the most valuable moment: grieving.

The film is a powerful narrative encompassing a theme that many people can identify with.

A haunting look at grief, survival, and a mother’s quiet collapse in a world that never gave her room to fall.

“Synchronic” is special, but it doesn’t succeed in achieving all the objectives it aims for. The film is a science fiction oeuvre which tries to be cerebral at some points, although the original idea is interesting, it only accomplishes to talk about some serious matters superficially.

The human experience is described through the eyes of a marginalized outsider, neither judgmental nor invested, just an observant donkey.
