Sleater-Kinney - Rock en Seine 2024 

An animated short film that never gets old, especially with iconic characters from the Disney series.

You've heard the phrase “If looks could kill,” but have you heard “If dancing could kill?” Pretty Lethal takes that idea and runs with it.

It’s fun, it’s energetic, but it’s also understated and vicarial. Zola is a modern black fairytale and future of black movies.

Intergenerational friendships and community can be so powerful, and this was a great example.

Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.

“There’s always something you can do…to make people feel like they’re welcome”
