Tangerine is great in how it relies on the characters to push the story along and it never feels forced or calculated. The characters are extremely flawed but I always manage to feel sorry or reason their actions one way or another. It's been awhile since I manage to really care about characters before so this was refreshing. There's a really good perspective on trans people that never seems as victimising or shaming them which I thought really added to the charm of Tangerine.

Avengers: Age of Ultron 2015
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I think it's time for Josh Whedon to step away from this whole franchise. He works best at the start of a project then it eventually gets worst. Avengers Age of Ultron is definitely he's breaking point where he should drop this storyline.
Fans of previous movies, mostly Captain America: Winter Soldier, gets no love from this movie. The previous characterization of Steve from that movie doesn't get continued on but rather continues from the first Avengers movie's characterization. That…

Moonrise Kingdom 2012
I feel like this movie might be Wes Anderson's best. All of my favourite classic shots from him was all present in the movie. It is also applied in a way that's subtle and real in the setting(i.e. camp grounds). Since, I love all of Wes Anderson's movies, it's not really a surprise I felt the same way for this as well.

The Way He Looks 2014
I love love this movie! The simpleness and childishness of the characters really captured my heart. I felt really drawn to them especially Leo with his escapism. The build up of Leo and Gabriel's relationship was simple and flawless. I love how the main characters managed to have 3-dimensional characteristics. Namely, Gabriel, Leo and Giovanni. Leo's parents also display the same portrayal. I love the ending most of all and found it to be a great way to wrap up the story. This is truly a beautiful film of adolescent struggles and love.
