Rita Hayworth: The Love Goddess (1983)

The Franke kids seemingly lived a normal life, until their mom met the infamous Jodi Hilderbrandt.

What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.

A24 keeps producing amazing films and X belongs with all the brilliant titles under its name. And is definitely a must-watch for a film enthusiast!

If Top Gun needed to say it, Top Gun: Maverick makes you feel the need... the need for speed.
