MOSCAS 

Unfortunately, People We Meet on Vacation didn’t hold up quite as well as I’d hoped.

Clocking in at about four hours, Stranger Things season 4 volume 2 is the length of a double feature. Despite the length and the hype, the finale still falls short of expectations thanks to poor pacing, poor character choices, and poor diverse storytelling.

A surprise sequel takes place ten years after the original movie based on the title of the same name, but with a twist to the fairy tale.

By undermining the appeal and credibility of black characters, the show compromises the very idea of diversity and representation it sets to promote.

I understand that this would have been consistent with the language used by that generation, due to its role in the medical profession, however as someone who has family members with Down Syndrome I took it very personally.

KIMI is the main character of this film and as much as I wish it was Angela Childs played by Zoe Kravitz, it isn't. KIMI is a smart device that works not unlike Amazon's Alexa and Google's Nest assisting in anything from home purchases to music playing all under the guise of only activating when in use.
