Salamander 

Magnolia focuses on how one’s childhood and trauma relate to their confidence and self.

Written and directed by Eva Victor, who also plays Agnes, the main character, Sorry, Baby is slow and artsy, but extremely effective. It shows how the trauma developed after a sexual assault has a ripple effect and loudly echoes in the victim and her life for years after.

Elsewhere is less than fourteen minutes long, but it delivers a more emotional impact than most feature-length films. 

A socially conscious film that draws attention to the plight of American military veterans.

Seeing that the film was essentially his first big, mainstream feature, and with garnering a leading role — portraying the revolutionary ball-player Jackie Robinson — Boseman, without question, delivered a performance that is still so incredibly moving, respectful, genuine, and true to the core of his obviously sincere, artistic heart; and with that, it is indeed so saddening to see him pass.

A sweet slice-of-life anime that visualizes all the ways we creatively hide our vulnerabilities from the world.
