What Are Friends For? (1980)

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is preoccupied with plot and not on the greater struggle of the Osage.

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

Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.

Asha, the main character, is a biracial woman who discovers the power of magic wishing dust.

'The Invisible Man' triumphs in tension even as it drops the ball on genuine surprise for the audience.

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.
