Film Reviews

“For a film that gleefully takes down those in power, Triangle of Sadness’ reliance on disability tropes feels like an incongruous misfire.”

“Olivia and daughter Addy exert clear-cut boundaries and avoid the gendered pitfall of having to ‘fix’ the man in their lives.”

“Depictions of gang-riddled Los Angeles leave much to be desired, but the traversing of two social worlds does feel honest to the Black experience.”

“Though men are the main breadwinners in Belfast, Branagh successfully shows that it is in fact the women who rule the roost.”

“It’s still sadly rare to see female characters working in STEM given the grace to be imperfect on screen.”

“While Drive My Car counts as an easy win for multiculturalism, a male gaze persists throughout the film.”

“The issues that lurk beneath the surface of Shang-Chi leave me wondering when a necessary reckoning will happen.”

“It’s possible to appreciate the instances of colorblind casting that increase opportunities for actors of color, so long as we don’t stop there.”
