The Seven Brides of Lance-Corporal Zbruyev 

In 'Maestro,' we're left with an impression but not with an understanding of the main character.

The film follows the biblical story of Moses, from his time as a prince of Egypt, to a leader for the people of Israel. It’s a film that works brilliantly in animation, and is one that both children and adults can; enjoy despite its religious contexts, it is friendly to general audiences.

An Indonesian film that brings strong representation of Asian descent in this heart-warming tale of a woman and her dog.

Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian. 

The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.
