The Head of the Cat (2021)

Tarantino's alternative history of the 1960's uncritically repeats the era's sexist and racist stereotypes.

Disney has a glaring and, up until recently, unaddressed issue that spans nearly its entire lifetime - an absence of diversity.

Over the last several years, I have had the privilege of being one of the critics having the opportunity to watch and review several films from writer/director/producer Marcellus Cox, whose efforts are never anything less but grounded, relevant, and steeped in unflinching glimpses illustrating the gripping, inspired, and ever-vacillating realms that make up the human condition.

On the Road captures the bleak, hyper-masculine world of long-haul trucking in Northern Mexico, where anything can and will happen. A hard-boiled, neon-noir romantic thriller, it shows the gritty reality of roadside diners, truck stops, and truck cemeteries alongside the expansive, breathless beauty of the Mexican desert highways.

A 2022 remake of the previous films of the same name, but with a more diverse cast, increasing representation and diversity.

A wondrously imaginative, diverse, and spirited allegory of childhood and the arduousness of adulthood.
