The Long Road 

A sweet slice-of-life anime that visualizes all the ways we creatively hide our vulnerabilities from the world.

Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.

We have a long way to go with LGBT representation in film, especially when it comes to LGBT characters of color and trans characters.

Another uneven "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" redux that says nothing novel about its subject matter.

Ever since the mid-’90s, the Mortal Kombat game franchise has seen multiple attempts to make it on the big screen, or at least adapted into other media.

The Invitation takes a creeping look at two simple premises: reuniting with forgotten friends and new-age spiritualism. Though one seems a bit scarier than the other, the film heightens social awkwardness to a macabre level that puts an uncomfortable look on when the social taboo of grief is put on public display.
