The Blue Poisonous Bees 

This short film was an overall creative success.

A sweet slice-of-life anime that visualizes all the ways we creatively hide our vulnerabilities from the world.

I hadn’t heard of it either until recently—and yet, it’s one of the highest grossing movies of all time.

These confines won’t really encourage you to read the film as a metaphor for the nerve-inducing experience we’ve all been through over the last year, however — and in the interest of maintaining your dignity, you probably shouldn’t. While the sociopolitical commentary may have worked for the similarly-themed Buried (2010), in which we find Ryan Reynolds on his own buried alive in the Middle East, but this futuristic take on the premise is best left as a piece of distracting entertainment. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.

I’m disappointed in The Woman in Cabin 10, but that’s at least in part because of my love of Ruth Ware’s novel.
