It’s been a few days since the release of the trailer for The Curse of La Llorona and though immediately after watching it the first time, the anger filled my entire body; I was hoping that the frustration would be gone after a few days. I was wrong. Maybe it seems frivolous to be upset about this…
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…
Last Saturday night my best friend and I were trying to decide what movie to see on Sunday morning, the strong contenders were Blindspotting (my choice) and Sorry To Bother You (her choice).

I couldn’t get the movie trailer out of my mind; I first saw it while watching the previews before Call Me By Your Name and I stalked the internet until I found a movie theater that was showing the movie (it was not easy to find). Spoilers Ahead My expectations were high and as I waited for…
The moment I witnessed the trailer for The Shape of Water, I knew that this movie would be a magical experience. (Mini-spoilers ahead) Guillermo del Toro has brought to life the film he always wanted to make and with an ensemble cast that creates magic all on their own, there’s no mistake that this cinematic journey…
Call Me By Your Name is the family film that 2017 deserves. Admittedly, I actively avoided reading the book before watching the film because I wanted to experience it without any preconceptions in my mind and honestly; it was the best decision I’ve made to date. I walked into the theatre knowing very little about the film…
Lady Bird is a beautiful coming-of-age story intertwined with a love letter between mother and daughter while being told within the scope of a Dramedy. It is is everything you need it to be while giving you moments that you didn’t realize you were craving. The film follows Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson on her Senior year…
