Streamline (2022)

Wes Anderson offers a light-hearted comedy in the Middle East centering around Catholic motifs. 

'The Patient' is bound by four walls and a mediocre ending that leaves you wanting more.

The concept of male fragility is explored (interestingly, by a male director) in The Sun Never Sets

The three themes of lessons learned from HBO Max's Station Eleven are the same as the pandemic: love, regret, and art.

Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be. Emma Stone continues to prove she's one of the finest young actresses working today, and Emma Thompson gives one of the best villain performances in the last decade. The fashion is stunning, the dogs are adorable, and the story is wildly vibrant and original. It's classic movie fun, and it shouldn't be overlooked.

What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.
