A university professor leads a lonely and sad life as a retiree. He often goes for walks in the cemetery. One day, he meets Ania there, the daughter of his friend Andrzej, who died tragically in the mountains. The girl lives with her children in a student dormitory, living a very modest life. Her husband left a few years ago to work abroad. Ania stayed in the country to finish her studies. Meeting the girl radically changes the professor's barren existence. Despite his advanced age and lack of experience, he takes on the care of the children to enable Ania to go to England for a management course.

Hulu continues its Summer releases with The Princess. This film follows the princess (yes, she is unnamed) as she attempts to escape her tower, refusing to be wed to a cruel man vying for the throne. Action-packed and snarky, this is a decently fun film if you need a fighting fix.
In the spirit of Halloween, here's a list of body horror films which can be interpreted as trans allegories.
With the start of the new season we're excited for all of the April new movie releases, some of which our writers here will cover in individual reviews throughout the month.
Clocking in at about four hours, Stranger Things season 4 volume 2 is the length of a double feature. Despite the length and the hype, the finale still falls short of expectations thanks to poor pacing, poor character choices, and poor diverse storytelling.
