Everyone is trying so hard to turn the movie into a wacky, racy comedy that they miss the actual heart of the story.
“The Herricanes”
With its timely conversations about the state of women’s sports and a boost of feel-good nostalgia, this unknown story about the first women’s full tackle football league in the 70s not only deserves to be told, but is a truly outstanding documentary.
“Mad Heidi”
A second-rate film that’s nothing more than an unfunny, fatigued gimmick.
“Huesera: The Bone Woman”
This body horror film is teeming with complex ideas about religion, motherhood, and autonomy, but there’s just not enough to carry it across the finish line.
“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”
The type of film that proves animation isn’t just for kids, and it’s certainly not a throwaway medium that deserves to be dismissed. It’s an action-packed, visually dazzling, frentic, and outrageously fun piece of cinema.
“The Flash”
I never expected to be so emotionally invested in a summer superhero movie about a character I care so little about, but this is one of the best films in the DCEU canon.
