Miuka discovers Almodóvar’s first photographic exhibition on the internet. It takes place at La Fresh Gallery in Madrid. She’s living in Argentina and is a stalwart fan of the director’s movies. She’s so thrilled that she decides to become a photographer herself and feel connected to her idol in the distance. She’s not alone. She’s living with Drac, her servant and life-long companion whom she considers part of her family. Drac will use everything at hand to make her happy.
Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
"Hustlers" returns power to groups that are traditionally deprived of it: women, the working class, and sex workers.
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.
It is the attention to detail that makes Wolfwalkers resonate more than Luca for Queer representation
The characters aren’t likable, the story is predictable and the humor is either disgusting, obnoxious, or uncomfortable. The Wrong Missy is a mess of a film and it’s not really worth your time.
Ultimately, Wicked is a story about the cost of being othered, the pain of being misnamed, and the quiet revolution of standing in your truth.
