  Mom 2017

  ★★★★★ Watched 31 Jan 2022

  An amazing film, which reflects on the aftermath of rape, the relationships between stepmother and daughter, the objectification of women, mainly in rape, revenge- thriller which threatens men to stop this king of behavior, the protagonist is a confident, brave and powerful women who wins the “battle” against the oppressive men, so it is also a film about female empowerment. The soundtrack is composed of typical Indian songs and strong sound effects that covey the mood of each scene and makes the film more powerful. The use of colours in production design was also impacting and created this powerful effect.

  The Fallout 2021

  ★★ Watched 31 Jan 2022

  The film shows the life of a survivor of a school shooting and the aftermath of the impact it had on her. The girl portrays a typical coming-of-age film which shows her experimenting, drugs, sex, relationships and it shows how the shooting affected different people in different ways. The film particularly explores the fourth-wave of feminism as after the shooting, the protagonist engages in a relationship with another girl and goes through a journey of self-discovery. The soundtrack and cinematography of this film is significant.

  Bordertown 2007

  ★★★½ Added

  This was a mind-blowing film, it raised awareness of the poverty-stricken and dangerous situation Mexican women live in. It exposed the corruption of Juarez and how it is hard to make a difference in a place where the government covers up the truth. The fast-paced montages which showed flashbacks about what happened were particularly interesting and were able to capture the traumatizing and horrible situation of the women.
