'Home Sweet Home Alone' (2021)
A boy named Max experiences adventure within his own house while staying home alone.

In this short film, the title of which translates as "Black Knee", a team of football players (played by members of the Barrios Unidos Cali team) encounter a pair of skinnydipping hippies out in the fields and steal their transistor radio. This seems to trigger something in their most legendary player, Jonny Mosquera: a terrible syndrome that makes him literally fall to his knees. Like La hamaca, Agarrando pueblo, Carne de tu Carne and other films made by Mayolo, this film blends deeply unsettling imagery and lowkey genre filmmaking into an equally unsettling and exhilarating realism.

The fun tricks used in the production design and lighting read extremely well on-screen but hardly fulfill their purpose of trying to inject glamour into a lack-luster story with nothing to say.
This coming-of-age movie is about a group of girl trying to find their missing friend after a wild night none of them can remember.
One of the great achievements of this film is its ability to challenge the mind and to force you to try to process information in a different way than you’re used to.
I highly recommend Dark Waters. It’s a highly engrossing picture, which lends itself to cautionary storytelling. The dark information continually grows, inspiring change and accountability altogether. Overall, Haynes’ picture will not be known for its inclusiveness--but it will be known for being a fantastic, engrossing film.
Rather than focusing on the bleak, cynical aspects of life post-pandemic, the focus is optimistic and hopeful.
