Salma's Big Wish 

Hanna Bergholm's 'Hatching' shows us that the modern version of the cardboard world trope is social media.

In a Whisper is a coming out narrative, but it’s also a story about multiple mother-daughter relationships and the necessity of family.

"Warrior" is a Bruce Lee written and inspired story that follows a diverse cast of Chinese American characters and does a terrific job of setting the story in 1878 San Francisco - all without pulling their punches with the systemic racism, discrimination, and struggle for power that old and young immigrants that crossed the country at that time had to go through.

We’ve always known that Edgar Wright is a mixologist when it comes to blending sound, light, colour, and texture. This is especially true in the first act of the film. In fact, all of my positive feedback is directed exclusively at the first act of this film.

This list was made with the intention of celebrating comedic craft and a love of seeing more women of colour and newcomers on the scene.

Though 'Bound' technically falls under the genres of crime and thriller, the film's heart is a romance between two women.
