Who Is the Criminal? 

This glimpse into this world is so captivating that it is an easy must-see, nearly flawless, and exceptional in every way. 

The legacy of this movie starts off the film series with a bang of magic, plot twists, and battles.

‘Sexy Beasts’ promotes itself as different from other dating shows as being not appearance-based. This is true to some extent thanks to the special effects makeup. However, looks do still play a role despite the masks.

The human experience is described through the eyes of a marginalized outsider, neither judgmental nor invested, just an observant donkey.

‘Barbie’ is an entertaining, meaningful piece of filmmaking with a heartfelt message.

The social issues The Half of it takes on are handled well, between the antagonization brought on to Ellie for her race and the conflict that arises from her being gay. Both aspects of her character are built up over the course of the film and don’t seem abrupt or rushed. The film shows racism towards Ellie and her and father in varying levels, from having her schoolmates specifically address her as "Chinese girl” to the fore mentioned way her Dad is treated due to language barriers. The same can be said about Ellie being a lesbian. While she never truly “comes out” in the narrative, that does not undermine her journey of self-discovery from being meaningful. These ideas aren’t thrust upon the viewer in a preachy manor, the scenarios that occur feel believable given the rural setting. The film presents watchers with problems whom those like Ellie may face, and leaves us to sit with them and reflect.
