Straight (2014)

How powerful can a story be when it is stripped to the bare essentials of just a room, a handful of people and raw human voice?

Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.

It only seems to prove that when the company had their backs against the wall and needed an all pleasing, generic movie that had to make up for The Last Jedi, they chose to sacrifice almost everything that made their main protagonist interesting and that made her stand out as the strong female character that a generation of young movie goers was supposed to look up to. Instead, we were left with a Rey that was so much less than she could have been. And I guess that’s the real story of Rey and The Rise of Skywalker; they could have been so much more, but they were just more of the same.

Although Fargo is not actually based on a true story, I do believe it is worth the watch. It has drama, suspense, and a mysterious figure to keep you engaged.

An incredible documentary showcasing the difficulties of living in a crumbling Rust Belt city.
