Death of a Unicorn 2025
As a directorial debut, Death of a Unicorn is a decent, if uneven, dark comedy. The script and humour are sometimes clunky, and the story unfolds predictably, adding yet another entry to the oversaturated "eat the rich" satire that has so far dominated 2025’s media-sphere. The real highlight is Jenna Ortega, who delivers a standout performance and easily outshines Paul Rudd. In the end, this is another case where the film’s concept is more interesting than its execution—but if nothing else, it proves there’s room for more unicorn-centric storytelling.

The film suffers from a case of "both-sides-ism," as if neutrality in the face of corporate malfeasance is a virtue, and the entrenched misogyny and self-congratulatory tone create a cinematic experience akin…

Barbie 2023
I really don't like hypocrites. If you want to make a Barbie movie about gender equality, by all means, please do. But this movie wasn't about equality. Maybe it wasn't meant to be. All I know is that it really rubs me the wrong way when a movie calls out the harms of sexism and then goes and includes sexist tropes - it comes across as grossly ignorant at best, and intentionally malicious at worst.
Some of these dated cliches…
