The Designated Mourner (1997)

“Unsung” does not begin to describe the obscurity Bayard Rustin endured in the shadows of the Civil Rights Movement

Hours before their line-up of screenings for Trans Awareness Week began, the filmmakers of 'When Men Were Men' chatted with me about the film's personal exploration of masculinity.

The genres of science fiction and fantasy are not exclusively masculine territory. Over the last few decades, female directors have brought to the screen some of the most visually stunning, intellectually daring, and deeply moving works of speculative fiction. From big Hollywood productions like Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel to independent low-budget films, women filmmakers are making a name for themselves around the world.

In season 3 of 'Umbrella Academy', Diego, Allison, and Viktor finally get character arcs that address their unique experiences as a Latino man, a Black woman who lived through the 60s, and a trans man.

This Halloween movie is a remake of the 2003 movie of the same name with Black representation.

In 'Maestro,' we're left with an impression but not with an understanding of the main character.
