Queer Friendship is Complicated in "Lakeview" (2024)
Tara Thorne’s film is equal parts emotional and comedic, illustrating the beauty and the pain of long term relationships.

Yılmaz is a young police officer. Yılmaz and his wife Hülya start a family, which grows with the birth of their children. As their children begin to grow up, the couple observes some unusual behaviors in them. Their children have difficulty communicating with their peers. Their children, who cannot speak until the age of 3, cannot form sentences like their peers when they do start to speak. One day, when the family takes their children to the park, they meet a neurologist, and this encounter leads them to learn about autism.

Baggage’s experimental mixed formats visualized a woman’s brave inner journey of visiting the museum of her fragmented memories.
What makes a person different, and who is considered normal? Based on a true story, The Unbreakable Boy follows the life of Austin LeRette, a young boy with autism and osteogenesis imperfecta, as he navigates daily life with optimism and resilience.
What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.
A quiet film that does not demand your tears but earns them. It explores love that lingers, timing that fails, and the silence between what was and what could have been.
I like discovering something new among the old and Tubi has an assortment of horror films from cinema's past for just such an occasion.
