'Carbon Copy' is a Denzel Washington flick that only a few have apparently seen; just 2.9k watched on Letterboxd, for example. That's a surprise, as is the film itself frankly. It's a bit of a trip. I knew it'd be to do with race due to the poster/title, but it's the entire plot.

I was getting major vibes of 'Trading Places' throughout, there are plenty of differences, for sure, but the white guy's trajectory is fairly similar. That Landis flick…

However, I had a seriously good time viewing it!

It's, in my opinion, a well crafted movie and, unexpectedly,…

A tough one to review as I'm not totally sure how I feel about it.

I'll start with the positives that I have for 'We Couldn’t Become Adults'. For one, the cast. I enjoyed the performances from those onscreen, I wouldn't say any of them are all that all-star but I did like watching them act. Mirai Moriyama, Sairi Itô and Sumire stick out most. The look of the film is also nicely done, while there's a neat end credits…
