The Haunted Mansion (2023)
This Halloween movie is a remake of the 2003 movie of the same name with Black representation.

Two brothers Yılmaz and Müjdat, who have grown up in an orphanage, are inherited a car body repair shop from Nuri and İsmet who were like fathers to them. One night they take an old grumpy man's car to couple of streets away. In the middle of the night, when they are hotwiring the car, the old man's heart can't take it. Thus, their short journey now leads them to somewhere unknown. One thing leads to another, now Yılmaz and Müjdat have to put the old man's dead body into a thinner solvent tank. The duo keeps painting the cars in their shop but they realize that the thinner they take from the tank with the dead body is giving amazing results. That "a couple of streets away" now leads to something really odd.

Although Christmas is a time of year for love and cheer for all, holiday cinema has not always represented diverse communities. Being a holiday with Christian origins, much of its media consists of straight white families or straight white romances. Luckily, modern years have been bringing with them plenty of POC and LGBTQ+ representation that the holidays so desperately need.

Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes.
As a huge fan of Sean Baker’s Tangerine, The Florida Project, and Red Rocket, I’ve wanted to watch Anora since before it even was released. But life got in the way, my watchlist grew, and honestly, the fact that it was marketed as a romantic comedy put me off. Even with all the critical praise and the five Academy Awards it won last year, I just kept postponing it indefinitely.
