A raw and honest portrait of some youths in a Swedish small town where bullying has devastating consequences. Sixteen-year old Linus and his best friend systematically bully a boy in their class.
Twisting what seems to be obvious setups and frameworks is what sets the story structure of Squid Game apart. I appreciate that this narrative is complex but not complicated; an easy enough plot to wrap your head around while still treating the audience like an equal participant in this social commentary
As a frequent “the book was better” extoller, this movie was well worth the watch.
'Zombieland: Double Tap' was entertaining and fun at times, but not very evolved. It had poorly developed female characters and stereotypical characters of color.
It’s dark, uncomfortable, and there are things that don’t make sense.
For the most part, 'Sweet Girl' recycles tired hyper masculine revenge tropes, but a surprise twist in the end turns it into a female-centric revenge film.
