Stillwater (2021)

Miley Cyrus shares her struggles as a songstress with a young audience, all while staying upbeat for the Disney brand.

The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+. It's an experience for so many that as they’re starting to realizing their true selves, they feel like a monster, especially if they come from unsupportive homes or communities. Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.

With a quirky outline, Project Hail Mary stays within the bounds of human language and imperial fantasy.

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

My review’s title is a nod to Shakespeare and is entirely deliberate. The original movie portrayed the high-end fashion world as a brutal arena of plotting, backstabbing, and betrayal, and most Shakespeare’s plays depend on these plot devices. The Devil Wears Prada 2 uses the same formula, and is, plot-wise, almost identical. Once again, we plunge into the cutthroat world of Runway, where to get and stay at the top, you must let go of your principles and moral sense. The only thing different is that due to the digital era, Runway is not a print magazine anymore, but one that is running online.

This indie short documentary archived the story of a staple rock band as well as an essential part of local history.
