The Deerslayer (1978)

Years before Mexican director, Alfonso Cuaron, was winning Academy Awards for movies like Gravity (2013) and Roma(2018), he directed a small, intimate film about two best friends who decide to embark on an improvised road trip to spend time with an older, attractive woman who miraculously agrees to go with them. Y tu Mamá También is a deep journey into the raw sexuality and friendship of the young protagonists, as well as a subtle social and political commentary on Mexico at the time.

True crime media is notoriously obsessed with the “missing white woman” trope, and yet the vast majority of American murder victims are male, and well over half are people of color.

The film may be a thriller, but I wasn’t thrilled by it. If anything, I was bored and annoyed.

This little Netflix film was very inspirational. It passes the Bechdel test, and features a different worldview with rural Indian representation.

Korean Dramas deserve your attention and not just the ones on Netflix.

By undermining the appeal and credibility of black characters, the show compromises the very idea of diversity and representation it sets to promote.
