‘The World to Come’ Movie Review: A Stunning Period Romance
Mona Fastvold’s nineteenth century lesbian romance is emotionally charged, restrained, and poetic without feeling forced.

Charlie and Kipp, two long-time friends, leave a movie theatre after having seen a war movie. One is set off by it, and the other is ambivalent. This seemingly innocuous disagreement spirals into a larger point of contention between the two, unearthing deeper truths.
Mona Fastvold’s nineteenth century lesbian romance is emotionally charged, restrained, and poetic without feeling forced.
Hiring bias is something that's rampant in all industries (even unconscious bias). But writing a script totally neutral not only opens the door for more diverse actors, but also for characters that are people first.
'Call Me Kate' is for the fans. It's an intimate account of an iconic film star.
Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.
A wondrously imaginative, diverse, and spirited allegory of childhood and the arduousness of adulthood.
A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.
