Feels almost criminal that it was yesterday, as a 29-year-old woman, that I watched Real Women Have Curves for the first time. I have no idea how I managed to avoid it for my entire adolescence, but alas the film has finally made it into my life. Maybe the film came at the perfect time,…
Do you know how difficult it is to suppress a sob while sitting in a room full of strangers? I knew The Farewell would be special; the moment I ran into the trailer on Twitter, it was after my chest felt a bit tighter that I knew I would love it. Yet, I still found…
I knew that I would love it the moment that I saw the first trailer. Booksmart was a wonderful movie-going experience and I demand that it plays at all High Schools.

Dumplin’ is the latest hit out of the streaming service…

From the moment that I saw the first trailer, I felt like I would love this film. The trailer had the song, “Hurt” by Timi Yuro running through it and it made me feel everything all at once. I mean, you show me Jake Gyllenhaal and I will show up regardless but the thing is;…
Confession: I have yet to see any of the other versions of A Star Is Born. I have zero reference, so please accept this review as a testament of appreciation as opposed to a review of a film with history and references that I may have missed. It took every ounce of self-control that I have…
I have never told this story before, so here goes: One day in eighth grade I sat in the middle of my English class watching a movie. It was there, in the middle of the whispers amongst children and the passing of the notes back and forth that I gathered all the strength I had…
