Samantha Mitchell’s “RSVP” : Incluvie Film Fest
“There’s always something you can do…to make people feel like they’re welcome”

Ina and Klaus Heller have sent their twins to vacation camp and are looking forward to a romantic and loving time together. But their mutual friends have their doubts. After all, how are the stressed-out judge and the ambitious architect supposed to know how "it" works? And indeed, there is a big lull in bed for once. Both are frustrated and so Klaus is not particularly sad when he is asked to take on an important project at short notice. So that Ina doesn't get too angry with him, he sells her a stay in a luxurious wellness hotel as an additional vacation treat. Now he has to be extra careful. After all, his wife mustn't know about his appointments there.

If a movie about a strange and crazy day is commercially successful, why not recycle it and double the kookiness quotient? That seems to be the logic behind this followup to Freaky Friday.
'Jungle Cruise' is fun if you can ignore the racism of the ride it’s based on and the film’s bland, stereotypical characters.
21 Bridges isn’t going to revolutionize action cinema. However, its action components are respectable. Every act is visibly clear, and as time moves forward, the film changes its conflictual rhythm.
In Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It (1986), we follow the love life of powerful female protagonist Nola Darling (Tracy Camilla Johns) and explore the relationship dynamics she has with her partners. She sees three men simultaneously: Greer Childs, (John Canada Terrell) Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee), and Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks). Though an 80’s film, She’s Gotta Have It is surprisingly progressive with its themes of female sexuality, although at some points in the film it is handled clumsily. Overall Nola is an incredibly compelling character especially for modern women, as we as a society acknowledge female sensuality more and more without the negative stigma.
Most movies give you their point upfront, while others make you think it’s about a specific topic, then reveal that the story is about something else. Pink Lady belongs somewhere in the middle of those two categories.
