Meru (2015)

A pop star at Radio City Music Hall gets the opportunity to change herself to save her music career.

One of the great achievements of this film is its ability to challenge the mind and to force you to try to process information in a different way than you’re used to.

“Trust your gut" is one of the most common pieces of advice you’ll receive during your lifetime. And as a person inclined to trust my intuition above all else, it’s the most common advice I find myself giving in real life and in my online socialising. But what happens when your gut is trying to warn you that something is seriously wrong without you being able to identify what triggered it in the first place? How can you act on a feeling or make it go away when you don’t have a clue about what could be wrong? How can you trust your intuition when you don’t know what makes it act out in the first place?

This little Netflix film was very inspirational. It passes the Bechdel test, and features a different worldview with rural Indian representation.

Dune has stunning visuals, a striking soundtrack, and great performances. But it has issues everywhere from its pacing, to its story, to its diverse representation.

The more we learned with each passing minute the bigger the reveal. This film ends with a serious bang and it was truly a joy to watch.
