Nickel Boys 2024
RaMell Ross delivers an absolute gut-punch with Nickel Boys, a film as devastating as it is masterfully crafted. The unique first-person cinematography immerses you in Elwood and Jack’s tragic journey, making the injustice they face feel deeply personal. Their contrasting worldviews—one idealistic, the other pragmatic—reflect the brutal reality that so many people of color have endured for generations. The metaphorical imagery, from the lurking alligator to the haunting space shuttle, adds even more depth, becoming even more fascinating upon closer analysis. A harrowing, necessary watch that lingers long after the credits roll.

Also, Sally Hawkins’ absence hurt.

Whisper of the Heart 1995

I loved that this movie was more rooted in reality than some other Ghibli movies I've seen so far as it allowed me to resonate with Shizuku more. Anxiety and self-doubt are significant obstacles in all our lives, and this movie portrays that very well in Shizuku and Seiji. I…
