'Not Okay' Review: A Perfect Companion Piece to ‘Nope’
While it initially sounds nothing like 'Nope,' the focus on recording/sharing everything—especially trauma—for profit makes Hulu's 'Not Okay' similar to Jordan Peele’s newest movie.

In the twilight of the 1800s, Argentina is a nation undergoing rapid, unforgiving modernization. Macedonio Alvarado, a legendary founding father now in his twilight years, faces his most deeply personal battle yet. Advanced in age but unyielding in spirit, he refuses to let his history be paved over by corporate greed. With his fading strength and whatever influence he has left, Macedonio stands alone against the crushing gears of privatization to save the one sanctuary that holds his heart: his childhood pulpería. It is a poignant, high-stakes drama about legacy, memory, and the fight to preserve the soul of a nation against the relentless march of progress.

Hours before their line-up of screenings for Trans Awareness Week began, the filmmakers of 'When Men Were Men' chatted with me about the film's personal exploration of masculinity.
A K-9 police dog goes undercover to stop an illegal animal smuggling ring and learns a valuable lesson along the way.
Hokum is an enjoyable horror film that will probably get a little under your skin, but it isn’t the tour de force that you might be expecting.
My review’s title is a nod to Shakespeare and is entirely deliberate. The original movie portrayed the high-end fashion world as a brutal arena of plotting, backstabbing, and betrayal, and most Shakespeare’s plays depend on these plot devices. The Devil Wears Prada 2 uses the same formula, and is, plot-wise, almost identical. Once again, we plunge into the cutthroat world of Runway, where to get and stay at the top, you must let go of your principles and moral sense. The only thing different is that due to the digital era, Runway is not a print magazine anymore, but one that is running online.
It only seems to prove that when the company had their backs against the wall and needed an all pleasing, generic movie that had to make up for The Last Jedi, they chose to sacrifice almost everything that made their main protagonist interesting and that made her stand out as the strong female character that a generation of young movie goers was supposed to look up to. Instead, we were left with a Rey that was so much less than she could have been. And I guess that’s the real story of Rey and The Rise of Skywalker; they could have been so much more, but they were just more of the same.
