‘Malcolm & Marie’: A Promising Premise With Disappointing Results
Sam Levinson's latest film can't keep up with the excellence of its performances.

The story is about the tragic fate of an eleven-year-old boy, whose childhood turns into an endless hell because of a drunken mother. A life of starvation, the bullying of classmates, the indifference and cruelty of adults-all this has no end in sight. Exhausted and without any hope or faith in the future.

The Show Must Go On In "Don't Say Good Luck"
Sunny Sandler, daughter of Adam Sandler, stars in a new Netflix film directed by Julia Hart, and it has caught the attention of many younger audiences as they watch this heartfelt coming-of-age story. The film's relatability of just being a normal teenage girl also tells a devastating reality that many cannot fathom facing. The storyline showcases a deeper meaning of the classic theatre kid saying, “the show must go on”, and emotionally captures the struggles that happen on and off the stage.
Amazon Prime's Pretty Lethal: Makes No Sense, Is No Fun
I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before.
