Oh Dear Sara (2021)

Based on the best-selling novel by Angie Thomas and a maxim of the late Tupac Shakur.

Tired of being cooped up in their cages, the critters escape the Australian zoo and try to find their way to the outback.

'Thirteen Lives' gives a dramatic adaptation of a humanitarian triumph that captured the global imagination.

A man found himself stuck inside the passage to the subway exit on the way to work.

The social issues The Half of it takes on are handled well, between the antagonization brought on to Ellie for her race and the conflict that arises from her being gay. Both aspects of her character are built up over the course of the film and don’t seem abrupt or rushed. The film shows racism towards Ellie and her and father in varying levels, from having her schoolmates specifically address her as "Chinese girl” to the fore mentioned way her Dad is treated due to language barriers. The same can be said about Ellie being a lesbian. While she never truly “comes out” in the narrative, that does not undermine her journey of self-discovery from being meaningful. These ideas aren’t thrust upon the viewer in a preachy manor, the scenarios that occur feel believable given the rural setting. The film presents watchers with problems whom those like Ellie may face, and leaves us to sit with them and reflect.
