I'm Going to be Late
A short film that begins with the language of romance but slowly reveals something far more unsettling beneath the surface.

The Teatro Povero of Monticchiello in the Sienese hills, a community in the Ligurian Alps, an agora reclaimed from decay in the heart of Genoa, a restored newsstand in Bologna, and new experiments in communal living across southern Italy. What connects these distant places? Women, men and communities driven by the same desire: to rebuild human bonds and imagine shared futures. Through conflicts, radical choices, solitude and hope, the film travels across Italy to give voice to those who refuse to wait for change and instead choose to make it possible.

Though 'Bound' technically falls under the genres of crime and thriller, the film's heart is a romance between two women.
Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse. When bringing together a cast and writing about these characters, the team behind the show expanded upon some of the representation missing from the first trilogy, then seemed to take away representation from the duology. Shadow and Bone seems to play a bit of a push and pull game when it comes to portraying diversity onscreen.
Like Fourth of July fireworks, the film Honey Don’t is colorful and fun to look at, delivering many bangs (sex and guns!) for your buck before quietly fading out.
I think these messages and the way they are presented in this small-town in Texas are increasingly more important as the internet/ social media becomes more and more critical and judgemental every day. Love yourself today and every day because as Ru Paul always says: “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love someone else?”
All in all, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a film I would recommend. It promotes the bond of sisterhood, which in this case is clearly thicker than blood, as well as courage. No one truly knows how strong they are until they go through something unimaginable and come out changed for the better.
