'Joker' (2019)
Joker is a compelling, character-driven, psychological tale that has a message behind the madness.

16-year-old Jonathan Snazowski has a vivid imagination and lives in a dream world filled with adventure, fast cars, beautiful women and easy money. Unfortunately he only has partial control over his fantasies, and is constantly beset by obstacles from the dark and tangled reaches of his mind. A slightly demented psychologist, a rotten kid brother, neighborhood bullies, demons and even laser-toting sex police are conspiring to wreak havoc on his life. But Jonathan has a plan: he is going to defeat his enemies, get his car, win the girl and lose his virginity... even if it kills him!

Andor is an origin story where each side will do whatever it takes.
Women who pray together, play together. Very rarely would I describe a story about a group of punk rockers as “whimsical”, but such an engaging array of visual and comedic components make this stand-out new series the star that it is.
This story solidified my choices to consume a more plant-based diet and nearly made me cancel my subscriptions to big corporations like Amazon. The narrative was perfectly crafted and on par with Bong Joon-Ho’s other major works; Parasite and Snowpiercer.
The film reminds us to remember the people who had the courage and dignity that had made the world better, even when the memory was absent.
While the film didn’t hit me as emotionally as I wanted it to, I still enjoyed it. I simply wish there was a little more, particularly with the world building.
