While the story may not be particularly original, the film’s strength lies in its authentic portrayal of teenage life and the complexities of relationships both on and off the mat.

“Road House”
A wild ride of fightin’, spittin’, cussin’, and bone snappin’, this testosterone-fueled muscle movie is perfect for a weekend stream.
“The In Between”
The pacing is painfully slow and the storytelling leisurely lyrical, which both prove to be extremely frustrating.
“Frida”
A must-see for lovers of art and admirers of Kahlo’s works, but those seeking to broaden their horizons will find the film easily accessible.
“Wicked Little Letters”
A deliciously vulgar tale of misogyny, hypocrisy, repression, and female rage, wrapped around a foul-mouthed letter writing scandal in 1920s England.
“Bleeding Love”
A series of exhausted, trite, strained relationship, addiction, and reconnection tropes that are screaming with conventionality.
