Se Hereda la Sangre y se Apega el Vicio 

It’s been five months since Wayward premiered on Netflix and it still has some of us in a choke-hold.

Gretel & Hansel falters due to its razor thin story and lack of characterization. It loses sight of horror’s key rule: In order to create an effective tale, characters and emotions must be emphasized.

A science fiction movie brings a strong diverse cast and adventure in outer space.

Praising Black representation and condemning the power structures that suppress it, a mother delivers an impassioned speech to her distant son.

Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian. 

Gay representation is out there, but to portray a character who's gay as a big, happy brute is a rare treat.
