The Squid and the Whale (2005)

When Juana tries real sushi for the first time, she is immediatley smitten by it and discovers a passion she never knew she had.

A throwback to the last months of the 20th century in this comedy film.

The Chronology of Water is a raw, honest, and unforgiving portrayal of how an abusive childhood ripples throughout one’s life. It is definitely the best movie I’ve seen Imogen Poots in. And even though Kristen Stewart has a long acting career for her young age, her directorial skills in this film show a lot of promise. Her feature debut as a director, an adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch's critically acclaimed 2011 autobiographical memoir, is fully immersive, mesmerizing, and impressive.

The film reminds us to remember the people who had the courage and dignity that had made the world better, even when the memory was absent.
