'Space Sweepers' Review: A Charming Sci-Fi Adventure with a Political Message
Behind all the action, 'Space Sweepers' is a surprisingly heartfelt and progressive story about building community.

David has got himself pretty well organized, he’s got friends, jobs – not bad. Broods a little, but who doesn’t. Occasional political activity. He never really grasped why Wendel, his best friend for years, had left. Just took off. The fool. Emigrated. Back in the seventies, they had shared their lives, their love, their apartment and sometimes even the same woman. And now, what happens? Wendel comes back, out of the blue. They spend the day together.
Behind all the action, 'Space Sweepers' is a surprisingly heartfelt and progressive story about building community.
The Mandolorian has a more nuanced and commentative take on masculinity that refrains from praising the toxic traits associated with the social category, while also showing a more positive and transformative representation of masculine characters.
The gentle, emotional nuances of Evan’s coming-of-age story would have been so beneficial to have incorporated into the life of a POC character. Showing a Black, Asian or Latino young man that is afforded the space to be vulnerable, flawed and sensitive while driving a compelling and widely-loved narrative would have been a game changer.
'Kajillionaire' is a touching and eccentric story about family, crime, and the search for belonging.
A group of criminal animals tries their best to reform themselves into good citizens to avoid serving time in prison.
Marvel’s first Asian superhero film, 'Shang-Chi', deserves praise for balancing epic superhero action, a heartfelt family plot, and positive Asian representation.
