I will give a different perspective on this film because just peruse any of the reviews on here and you will see just how affective bourgeois, anti-communist propaganda has been on the masses for the last 50 years, though this film stumbles at the end and reinforces the lies. However, a film like this surfaces a really important contradiction surrounding the standard narrative on Stalin and the USSR which has been propped up by the status quo, (right wing) reactionaries…

The Brutalist 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
There are some emotional reactions to the film which premise that it is pro-Zionist. It is understandable that the presentation of Zionism and Israel appears non-critical because it is just that, an historical fact within the plot. Naturally seeing the Jewish characters get treated as outcasts, their family member(s) converting, and being taken advantage thus spurring them to relocate to Palestine on the surface is certainly how Zionists have argued for their right to a nation-state.

Lady Bird 2017
Sacramento is like the midwest of California...
I've lived in Sacramento my whole life (still do), and I have been watching movies for as long as I can remember. So for a film to come out with heart and integrity that finally gives my hometown some clout is eye-watering.
