Reflecting on 'The United States vs. Billie Holiday'
Lee Daniels’s Billie Holiday biopic The United States vs. Billie Holiday was released on February 26th, 2021, and my immediate reaction to it was one of discomfort.

The film tells the story of Sırrı Derman, who thinks he'll act in a commercial with Paris Hilton. Sırrı Derman, who played in an advertisement directed by Sinan Çetin years ago, learns that Çetin cast him in an commercial he'll shoot with Paris Hilton. The director's assistant made a wrong call and called Sırrı Derman instead of the famous actor Sırrı Ferman. Sırrı Derman thinks that he casted for shooting an commercial with Paris Hilton, and this is a sign that he is destined to marry Paris Hilton. The arrival of both Sırrı to the area where the shootings will take place causes confusion.

Villeneuve’s Dune is a masterpiece for its crafting process, but references to David Lynch's picture are sometimes too obvious.
I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before.
'Kajillionaire' is a touching and eccentric story about family, crime, and the search for belonging.
