A brave Indian woman rises from an oppressive background to become an inspired leader for women and men alike around the globe.

This little Netflix film was very inspirational. It passes the Bechdel test, and features a different worldview with rural Indian representation.

You can have the best filmmaker and cast in the world, but if the script is lacking, you’re in a troublesome state. Such is the case with Gemini Man, a film full of tremendous artists.

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.
