Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes. 

Magnolia focuses on how one’s childhood and trauma relate to their confidence and self.

Although bogged down by a slow pace and moralistic intent, ‘Deadly Garage Sale’ (2022) makes the most of its silly and nonsensical premise.

This fantasy musical movie is an origin story about the title character.

Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
