Xtrems (2009)

When Juana tries real sushi for the first time, she is immediatley smitten by it and discovers a passion she never knew she had.

Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.

Shadow & Bone excels in natural story representation with powerful centering of culture. Jessie Mei Li stars as Alina Starkov, the feisty cartographer with kindness, innocence, and integrity, who comes to be revealed as the legendary summoner of light.

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

An Indonesian film that brings strong representation of Asian descent in this heart-warming tale of a woman and her dog.

Is God Is tells a harrowing tale of retribution, sisterhood, and gender based violence. Far too eerie and clever to be an ordinary slasher, but too gory and merciless to be an ordinary thriller, Is God Is will appeal to the highbrow horror lover with generational trauma anywhere.
