Zoofobia (2023)

Praising Black representation and condemning the power structures that suppress it, a mother delivers an impassioned speech to her distant son.

Adapted from a 2014 novel by Atticus Lish, Preparation for the Next Life is the feature film debut of documentary filmmaker Bing Liu. With the help of screenwriter Martyna Majok, he paints a realistic and somber portrayal of Aishe, a Uyghur immigrant, as she struggles to make a living while undocumented in the United States.

As a huge fan of Sean Baker’s Tangerine, The Florida Project, and Red Rocket, I’ve wanted to watch Anora since before it even was released. But life got in the way, my watchlist grew, and honestly, the fact that it was marketed as a romantic comedy put me off. Even with all the critical praise and the five Academy Awards it won last year, I just kept postponing it indefinitely.

This animated Christmas movie is based on the classic novel of the same name.

We got a movie that takes the old school approach of trying to creep you out with chilling atmosphere more than anything else.

Jordan Peele’s film is an intelligent and unflinching piece of work, firmly focused on the African American experience.
