After having witnessed so many hagiographic clip reels masquerading as documentaries, I took it for granted that Hulu’s “Brats” would be just another love letter to the young stars of the ‘80s, the ones who impacted pop culture in the middle of the decade in the maelstrom we know as the 21st century. Happy to […]
Things take a turn for the worse when Ben DeBacker (Corey Fogelmanis), the nonbinary lead character in I Wish You All the Best, directed by Tommy Dorfman, comes out to his parents. The fragmented dialogue evokes a feeling of anticipation. As melancholy is etched on the characters’ faces we see Ben going through notes on
The Code: The show is about a sexless couple who go through ups and downs in their relationship during the early days of the pandemic. After Eugene Kotlyarenko’s film Spree divided and impressed (virtual) audiences at Fantasia Film Festival 2020 and got talked about for the rest of the year, the writer/director made a strong
In Our Church Thinks We’re Dating, we meet Pastor’s daughter, Jess, who is practically the leader of all the boob friends, for some reason keeping the tub activities in a very religious circle.

Many changes have taken place in Greek writer-director Athina Rachel Tsangari’s third feature film, “Harvest” – her first film in English, her first adaptation and perhaps her biggest and most
There is no cause for confusion in the rather strange matters of film financing; a movie say, “5lbs of Pressure” takes place in Manhattan while it is produced in Manchester, England for some reasons. While the reasoning seems to hold well on the face of it, perhaps the industrial city in the UK is less
The Clean Up Crew: Let’s say you’re on a murder scene clean up and you apprehensively check a suitcase stuffed with cash. What would an average person do in these circumstances? Probably, one has watched several action movies and thinks there are implicit consequences of fleeing with the money. That, however, has not deterred Siobhan
