Sofia Coppola’s ‘On the Rocks’
The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.
Mom(s) (2024)
The fact that Abi has two moms shouldn’t set her apart from any other teenage kid, but when the high school father-daughter dance posters start to go up all over school Abi can’t help but feel like an outsider. The mean crowd rubs it in her face, Abi’s friends don’t seem to get it, it’s all too much. Abi decides she doesn’t want to go to the stupid dance, but Abi’s best friend Lexi knows all too well what Abi wants. Lexi urges her to take a stand and show up to the dance with both her moms. When one of Abi’s moms, Sandra, finds the father-daughter poster crumpled among Abi’s things, she confronts her about it. With Sandra’s help, Abi makes it so everyone is welcome at the dance.

However, what occurs when those whom we initially put our trust in suddenly become a burden instead of a boon? Do we falter under the weight of rejection? Or STAND UP for WHO WE ARE?
