Troll Hunter: Horror with a Playful Look at Religion
It surely isn't for everybody and could certainly offend some folks, but Troll Hunter takes a different approach to representing religion in a film.
Unearth
On unearthing the identity that we've buried in the efforts to level ourselves with cultures that are not our own: In the struggle to move forward, we’ve been misled into situations causing us to be pitted against one another, and ultimately we end up losing our land, our way of life, and our identity. Yet our rich and beautiful culture is still inside of us is just waiting to be heard. If only we could realize that acknowledging and learning from our roots could contribute greatly to attain true liberation and proper development as a nation.

'Jack and Diane' Review: Wasted Potential
The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+.

Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.
