The Challenger Disaster (2019)

Eddington attempts to capture how media is intertwined with the uncomfortable present.

In a film where a Black couple is framed to be the lead characters, they still managed to get shuffled off to the sidelines. The enthusiastic cast delivers well on goofy bits- but can only go so far before they begin to fall flat.

The Djinn is about childhood traumas and lifestyle changes. It tells the story of Dylan (Ezra Dewey), a mute boy who blames himself for his mom’s death. He also condemns himself for being speech-impaired, and he thinks that if he did not have that condition, everything could had been different.

When you first hear that there is a series on Netflix where the lead character’s wife dies from cancer and he becomes dangerously suicidal, you wouldn’t immediately assume that it’s a comedy.

When a group of White women are invited to dinner by an Indian woman and a Black woman to talk about race in America, sparks fly.

A haunting look at grief, survival, and a mother’s quiet collapse in a world that never gave her room to fall.
