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. The film follows best friends Amy and Molly, on their last day of High School. They both spent their entire High School experience striving…

‘Someone Great’ Movie Review
Is there such a thing as a self-love rom-com? If there isn’t, Jennifer Robinson may have just created a new movie genre. Robinson directed the new Netflix movie, Someone Great and having just watched it for the third time; I must say that I am officially obsessed. The film follows aspiring music journalist, Jenny (played…
Embracing the Unicorns & the Rainbows | ‘Unicorn Store’ Movie Review
“The most grown-up thing you can do is fail at things you really care about” For most of my life I have felt more comfortable standing in the shadows. I specifically curated my all-black wardrobe when I was a teenager, so that I would have no reason to stand-out. I have never felt comfortable being…
So Many Feelings! | Dumplin’ Movie Review
I just spent the last hour and 50 minutes crying. Though I constantly find myself frustrated with Netflix’s streaming content, (it just feels like the platform needs more Jake Gyllenhaal movies) there’s no denying the fact that they’ve created some wonderful and enjoyable original content. Dumplin’ is the latest hit out of the streaming service…
A Rant On ‘The Curse of La Llorona’
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…
‘Wildlife’ Movie Review
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;…
My Heart Leapt Out of My Chest | ‘A Star Is Born’ Movie Review
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…
Let’s Sit In The Awkward Silence | ‘Eighth Grade’ Movie Review
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…
If you ever listen to anything I write, let it be this | ‘Blindspotting’ Movie Review
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). It was after four games of rock, paper, scissors (four, because she cheated once) that I finally won. So on Sunday morning at 10:45AM we sat…
A Quiet and Emotional Journey | “A Quiet Place” Movie Review
I will always be honest about the fact that my aversion to scary movies has to do with the fact that I’m a tiny baby who gets scared way too easily. Yet, I still somehow found myself sitting inside of a movie theatre waiting for A Quiet Place to start. I’m not sure of the…
