"Driveways" is a nuanced portrait of an Asian American family, touching on themes of loss, growth, and belonging.

Alisa moves into a spacious apartment in St. Petersburg, where the mirror starts to malfunction, showing the young lodger a parallel reality of the same apartment.

A trio of girls form a band and enter a singing competition together after learning they work best as a team.
Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) are a delight to watch evolve, sometimes devolve, then evolve again.
James Cameron’s “Aliens” (1986) is a pinnacle of science fiction storytelling. Within this classic monster movie lies a powerful female character, Ellen Ripley (brilliantly portrayed by Sigourney Weaver).
On top of the phenomenal acting, and great dialogue between the two characters, the cinematography was ravishing! The sound was outstanding! The production design was simple, yet intrinsic. The minimalistic approach in the Malibu beach house represented how little they really have going on in their relationship. The storyline may have been much simpler than "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf," but all the more insightful, and much more animalistic at its core.
People are so much deeper and far more extraordinary than what gender they were assigned at birth.
