Zaida is an android created by Said, a lonely man, who designs her to resemble a real woman and become his partner. After sharpening her physical abilities, her creator will try to seduce her for the first time, generating in her the gentle awakening of her consciousness.
Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.
'The Menu' has a strong story. The 5 acts, which are defined by the courses, are an excellent subversion of the classic 5-act film structure.
Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
Dora is the superhero we didn't know we needed.
'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' is a franchise built on inclusive storytelling.
