Shadow Reaper (2024)

Produced by Vanguard Animation and released on Netflix, this animated fairytale movie has a lot of ironies as the story is told by the prince himself.

The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.

This reboot of The Wonder Years is told from the lens of a Black man.

The classic ghosts-in-revenge story expanded into an extensive dig into the historical social system while being funny and horny.

Madres takes place in the 70’s following a Hispanic married couple who move to a migrant farming community. Diana, who is pregnant, starts to become suspicious of their new environment after she and the women around her develop strange symptoms. Could it be a curse, a sickness, or something else?

Movies also have the ability to make the audience think deeper about an issue that plagues society. "Blindspotting" does that without shying away from the intense reality of police brutality and racial discrimination.
