Twice is a polyamorous love story exploring how a revolutionary family is made. Woman and Man begin as friends, become lovers, break up and finally create an authentic, non-monogamous life together. Woman is an American in Paris who loves more than one person at once; at the start of the story, she's honest with her lovers, but hides her polyamory from the outside world until she learns to come out. Man is an English expat who begins as a womanizer, lying to all the ladies in his life until he falls apart, faces his addictions and rebuilds his life around truth. Entirely told in voice-over from inside the two lead characters' minds, the film shows how the love story you tell yourself is the love story you live. While you can always change your life, you can never live the same moment twice.
Clearly, in the end, Allison raised a responsible child because she knew that her "friend" was doing something that made her uncomfortable and turned away from her. No worries, Super mom was already one step ahead of her.
Spiral could easily spawn new sequels and will most likely churn a decent profit. Is it a good Saw film? Absolutely. Could it have been revolutionary though? Also yes.
I have no idea how getting an abortion is still not a basic right at this point, but that means the fight is far from over. So, films like Happening are ever-relevant.
“I’m always interested in exploring female fantasy, and the sexy witch is a loaded archetype that is simultaneously about men’s fears and fantasies about women, and women’s feelings of empowerment and agency. So whereas we are used to seeing the sexy witch or the femme fatale from the outside, I wanted to explore her from the inside.” - Anna Biller, on why she made The Love Witch
Remember when there was this amazing comedy titled "National Lampoon's Vacation"? To this day, it is a true classic of the genre and certainly put a new spin on precisely what KINDS of insanity could occur when taking the fam on the road. Then, like with so many successful films, there was the sequel (which for me was even MORE of a classic than the original!). However, the third film emerged....and then a fourth. Suddenly, the luster was gone and disappointment set in.
