Trans Allegories in Film: 'Nimona' (2023)
Animation as a medium of storytelling can be thought to be open to all ages and as I hope my reading will reveal, 'Nimona' could be interpreted as a transgender story.
Shadows From The South
During a severe storm in southern Chile, two tourists are helped by an elderly man who offers them shelter from the rain in his home; left with no other choice, the two young women accept. There, they are compelled to listen to the man’s local tales about the area: a police investigation involving the "Invunche" creature, the truth behind an unsolved crime known as "La Calchona, " and the abduction of a young woman by the "TueTue" bird.

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.
