THIS (1991)

A brief look at two Barry Jenkins films that have established him as one of the greatest filmmakers of our time.

"A Drowning Man" (2017) explores the unseen aspects of the Refugee Crisis. In, 15 far-too-short minutes, viewers are given a detailed snapshot of what it's like for a refugee to drown in the waters of poverty and otherness while trying to navigate a land whose promise has worn off, and only 'strange' remains.

The second entry of the Five Nights at Freddy’s series released recently, garnering very divisive reviews amongst both fans and critics.

This documentary moves chronologically through Black representation in horror films, revealing the genre's connections to Black history.

'The Patient' is bound by four walls and a mediocre ending that leaves you wanting more.

All in all, “Event Horizon” is a cinematic misfire, begging to be perfected in the future. While it possesses an array of admirable visuals, the film leaves much to be desired. If only we could see Anderson’s preferred cut, which featured more character development and tortuous imagery. In the meantime, I have a catchphrase for this film: In space no one can hear you snore.
