Someone Tell Scarface That Cuba Is Not In Italy
Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that.

The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
Escaping Reality in "Anora"
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.
