Okie (2024)

"Hustlers" returns power to groups that are traditionally deprived of it: women, the working class, and sex workers.

With a quirky outline, Project Hail Mary stays within the bounds of human language and imperial fantasy.

'The Invisible Man' triumphs in tension even as it drops the ball on genuine surprise for the audience.

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.

Asha, the main character, is a biracial woman who discovers the power of magic wishing dust.

Jordan Peele’s film is an intelligent and unflinching piece of work, firmly focused on the African American experience.
