The Weirdness that is 'Severance'
Severance is about breaking down facades and confronting old models that were once frameworks of our lives. The somewhat subtle message to me is it’s never too late to fall in love, no matter your insecurities.

Julia, Nick and Sterre start their school year with success: they have a contract with a record label and are allowed to perform in a major national live show. But then their school merges with another, so that everyone from the rivalling Olympus College joins them, including their eternal rival Babette! All squads are turned upside down and while Babette tries to regain her number 1 position, the Misfits befriend the shy Tara. The Misfits must do everything they can to stay together and follow their dream of winning the final of the international music competition, the TMAs.

The latest installment in the beloved media franchise is a unique stylized mesh of humor and heart.
The film's storylines read as allegories for the queer experience and that's a source of solace for LGBTQIA+ fans!
A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.
Cord Jefferson's hilarious and thought-provoking film continues a long-standing cinematic tradition, expanding the conversation around the impact of systemic racism in today's media.
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.
