In a world on the brink of collapse, Jacques, a taciturn giant, lives in isolation surrounded by abandoned objects that he has repaired. Jacques does not suffer from loneliness because, since childhood, he has had a unique ability: he can communicate with objects! Jacques discovers that a radical scientist despises humanity and its materialism to the extent of exterminating all forms of life outside of plants and insects. Forced to take a stand for humans, Jacques allies himself with a fierce orphan, a rebellious runaway, and a woman fighting for her independence. In this urban odyssey, they initiate the awakening of a new society: reuse objects and respecting all living beings.
Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.
As noted in the headline, I didn’t like this movie. Not to say it’s the worst thing ever, but it’s just…meh. Nothing much to it. Very generic. No surprises. At the very least, the cast is diverse so I’ll give it that.
Spotlighting the legacy of the legendary Raymond Lewis through the love of a devoted daughter.
Netflix takes some liberties in its portrayal of Madame CJ Walker, a trailblazing Black entrepreneur.
Slumber Party Massacre is a gory film with just enough commentary on sexist excuses, the validity of women's voices, and the inherent feminism of the slasher.
That gut-wrenching feeling you have while watching it is okay but needed, and you, the viewer, will be okay.
