When you don’t factor in the plethora of inferior sequels that have been produced, Luca is one of Pixar’s simplest and most unassuming films in years — and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Rare in the days of franchise sequels and indie horror films that dominate the screen in 2026, Netflix’s latest original release, Remarkably Bright Creatures, is a feel-good family movie that leaves nothing to be desired except tissues.

An indie production of a romantic drama with a country-western feel meant to explore lost love.

Mirrorball is full of passion and love for the medium of cinema and is indeed a fitting love letter to La La Land.
