I Know This Much Is True: Double the Ruffalo, Double the Brilliance
I imagine that it would be a dream job for an actor to play the parts of twin brothers Dominick and Thomas Birdsey in I Know This Much Is True.

Affiyah's 18th birthday turns into tragedy when she accidentally witnesses a brutal murder. Fearful of becoming the next victim, Affiyah, threatened by the hooded jacket-wearing killer, promises to keep the incident secret from others. The terrified Affiyah is pressured by her mother to tell her about the incident she witnessed. Eventually, Affiyah reveals what happened and her mother is determined to file a police report. This reaches the knowledge of the hooded jacket-wearing killer and fuels his anger, prompting him to murder Affiyah's mother. From then on, Affiyah fears that those around her will be killed and desperately tries to hide all the secrets of the hooded jacket-wearing killer. However, the secrets gradually unravel one by one as those around Affiyah seek to find the truth behind the serial murders. Will these serial murders continue? Will the hooded jacket-wearing killer be stopped?

If Top Gun needed to say it, Top Gun: Maverick makes you feel the need... the need for speed.
The gentle, emotional nuances of Evan’s coming-of-age story would have been so beneficial to have incorporated into the life of a POC character. Showing a Black, Asian or Latino young man that is afforded the space to be vulnerable, flawed and sensitive while driving a compelling and widely-loved narrative would have been a game changer.
If you are a discerning movie watcher and/or an African-American with a modicum of Black consciousness, this film isn’t for you. It would be better to watch the documentary ‘They Fight’ to see the impactful, emotional story of Walter Manigan and the young men of DC’s Ward 8.
Fire Island is the more inclusive film of the two with the bi-phobic definition of pansexuality in The Thing About Harry and its obvious lack of colour on screen
Outer Banks (2020-) knows its audience: young adults in a country that can’t stop romanticizing good ole’ treasure hunts. Add a little of Riverdale’s (2017-) sex appeal, and no one can look away. Forty years after The Goonies (1985) America’s consciousness hasn’t strayed from the same tropes: treasure hunts, a vulnerable white male lead, and the whitewashing of a racially segregated setting.
