The 24th (2020)

The problem isn’t that it’s bad. It's good. But it fails to stand out from a crowd of similar films.

In the spirit of Halloween, here's a list of body horror films which can be interpreted as trans allegories.

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.

With the theme of unemployment, it presents a family fantasy anecdote rather the a comment on social problems.

Severance is about breaking down facades and confronting old models that were once frameworks of our lives. The somewhat subtle message to me is it’s never too late to fall in love, no matter your insecurities. 

'Selena: The Series' loses sight of the story's heart: Selena herself.
