I Am Not Your Negro 2016
I think this was a very superficial attempt to talk about Racism in America. Despite the handful of meaningful interviews that Baldwin gives, this documentary is just a montage of intense images with little context to explain their importance. Those that understand the significance of the topics at hand will find this film a bit shallow, and those that do not understand the significance will leave feeling only upset about the history of terrible things that have previously happened without being educated about how relevant those happenings still are today.

Interstellar 2014
I had heard a lot of mixed things about Interstellar going in, but I really tend to favor Nolan as a director. After DKR and Inception (which I didn't care for :/) I started approaching Nolan cautiously while just keeping in mind that he has made a few of my favorite films. Overall I thought Interstellar was great. There were just a few cliché moments that bothered me, but nothing too substantial - and even at almost 3 hours, I was engaged for the entirety of the movie.
