Laggies: Lynn Shelton’s Film Blends a Coming-of-Age Story With a Quarter-Life Crisis
Laggies is a fantastic movie, filled with down-to-earth characters, transcendent themes, and witty comedy
The Divided Soul of America (2019)
Under the Trump administration, USA is a deeply divided country. One side feeds populism and religious rectitude in a monochromatic landscape, painted white, lamenting for a past that never will return. The other side fuels diversity and multiculturalism, a biased vision of a progressive future, quite unlikely. Both sides are constantly confronted, without listening to each other. Only a few reasonable people gather to change this potentially dangerous situation.
