One Away (1976)

'Young Royals' is a great example of positive gay representation in its two main protagonists, but the supporting characters are often frustratingly selfish.

As a huge fan of Sean Baker’s Tangerine, The Florida Project, and Red Rocket, I’ve wanted to watch Anora since before it even was released. But life got in the way, my watchlist grew, and honestly, the fact that it was marketed as a romantic comedy put me off. Even with all the critical praise and the five Academy Awards it won last year, I just kept postponing it indefinitely.

The idea of Rosemary's baby but with lesbian partners drew me in, and I was anticipating what the film had in store with its reimagining. Unfortunately, it all felt a little too vague to leave an impact.

The film seems like an extreme interpretation of the conspiracy theorists that exist in real life. And then, there’s the twist.

‘Run Sweetheart Run’ has everything women fear the most, from psycho boyfriends to tampons.

Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.
