    ★★★½

    I haven't reviewed a film in a good long while, but I saw The Convert last night and I felt compelled to write something about it to help unpack my thoughts.

    The big elephant in the room for me was that it unfortunately very much fell into the category of white saviour films. That's not to say it was bad, but it just means that the stories I really want to be centered, that should be centered, aren't. There's a…

    I don't even know what to say about this film tbh. It has easily one of the hardest scenes I've ever had to endure in any film ever - i just wanted that scene to stop, it was horrific. I felt physically ill and almost wanted to fast forward past it.

    What makes me feel even worse is how relevant so much of the film still is, almost 30 years later.

    Jodie Foster was amazing and her accolades were well deserved.

    I don't want to think about this film anymore and I don't think I will ever watch it again.
