The "love" I had for Yumeru wasn't family love, but love... The daughter I've raised with care doesn't look like me at all. "If you walk with me, you'll be mistaken for being a daddy!" I wanted to dispel her colleague's words, so when I did a DNA test... she wasn't my child. It doesn't matter who's child, if you're not related by blood, it's a free man and woman. It means that you can love a lot, have sex, have children, and become a real family, right? You said when you were a kid that you wanted to marry your father. I'll love you more than ever, Yumeru.
Never Have I Ever season 3 is charming and hilarious as it has been in past seasons and still sports a diverse ensemble cast. However, the show doesn’t always treat its marginalized characters that well.
The roaring emotional ride that was the season four finale sets June on a new path: more of a Survivor's Journey.
For the most part, 'Sweet Girl' recycles tired hyper masculine revenge tropes, but a surprise twist in the end turns it into a female-centric revenge film.
Netflix's new thriller Apex, starring Charlize Theron, puts a twist on survival horror. Despite its setting in the beautiful- yet-dangerous Australian wilderness, Apex is not a movie about man vs. nature. Instead, it’s woman vs. man. While checking out the title card and its unpretentious Netflix release might lead viewers to believe Apex is just another celebrity project churned out of the streaming machine, Apex - whether by luck or by intention - is a consistently harrowing film about the reality of being a woman in a public space.
As a frequent “the book was better” extoller, this movie was well worth the watch.
This is not a slavery story, it is a freedom story. The viewers only see Harriet as a slave for the first few minutes of the film. To me, it felt like watching the origin story of a superhero…which is both good and bad.
