Vondt Blod: Løke vs. Klemetsen 

‘Oppenheimer’ is a force to be reckoned with. A biopic that respects the audience’s intelligence.

This reboot of The Wonder Years is told from the lens of a Black man.

With the theme of unemployment, it presents a family fantasy anecdote rather the a comment on social problems.

The film, which focuses on an Argentinian family during an intimate birthday dinner, efficiently captures the eccentricities of each character as well as the nuances of their interpersonal dynamics. 

When diverse representation is featured on-screen, it oftentimes comes with strings attached that undermine the message they were trying to send. This can be attributed to the fact that behind-the-screen, the industry primarily does not reflect the breadth of diverse difference that is present in daily life. That’s why when something as powerful and authentic as Minari comes along, it is both incredibly wonderful and needs a large audience to witness it.

In a film where a Black couple is framed to be the lead characters, they still managed to get shuffled off to the sidelines. The enthusiastic cast delivers well on goofy bits- but can only go so far before they begin to fall flat.
