Some films are less about what happens and more about how they make you feel. Matt and Mara is one of those films, steeped in ambiguity, longing, and missed connections. It takes place in modern-day Toronto, but its emotional setting feels timeless: a space where two people share a history that simultaneously binds and pushes…
As I sat watching Girls Will Be Girls, Shuchi Talati’s debut feature, it was like stepping into a quiet storm. On the surface, it feels like a simple story of motherhood, girlhood, and all the aching in between. But beneath that subtle, almost still exterior, there’s a stirring—a deeper emotional undercurrent that tugs at something…
In a world flooded with YA dystopian films, Uglies is yet another entry that, quite frankly, doesn’t do much to stand out. There’s a growing fatigue with the genre, a sort of weariness from audiences who’ve seen the same themes regurgitated over and over—rebellion, individuality, and the dangers of a society that prizes conformity over…
“The Critic”—a film set in 1930s London—is one of those period dramas that catches you off guard. It pulls you into its dark, twisted world with a kind of hypnotic allure, leaving you both intrigued and uneasy by the time the credits roll. As Christians, we approach films like this with a unique lens, looking…
Let’s be honest, analyzing comedy can sometimes feel like dissecting a joke—by the time you’re done, all the humor is gone. But with Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut), you’re dealing with something that invites that kind of deep dive. In fact, it feels like this documentary almost demands it. With six hours…
There’s something magnetic about Unorthodox. From the first frame, it pulls you into Esty’s world—a world so unlike our own but filled with familiar struggles of faith, identity, and the human desire to be free. It’s not just a show about a woman escaping her ultra-Orthodox Jewish community. It’s about something deeper—finding yourself amidst the…
There’s something inherently risky about a show like Lady Dynamite. Not just risky in the sense of its wild tonal shifts or its commitment to playing with reality, but risky because it throws out the traditional rulebook of sitcoms and leaves you wondering: “What exactly did I just watch?” And for Christian viewers, there’s even…
There’s something special about the way “How to Die Alone” sneaks up on you. At first glance, you might think it’s going to be another light, semi-satirical comedy about a woman navigating her messy life. But there’s something deeper happening here—something that catches you off guard. It’s not just about surviving life’s more awkward moments…
Fashion documentaries can be a fascinating study, especially when they manage to capture the essence of a time and the culture it created. “In Vogue: The 90s” does exactly that, immersing viewers in an era that turned the fashion world on its head. But how does a Christian viewer engage with something that may, at…
In the middle of the whirlwind that is modern TV, every so often, a show comes along that feels like a breath of fresh air. Not just because it’s fun, sweet, and makes us laugh, but because it offers a little more—something with a pulse. That’s how I’d describe Netflix’s adaptation of The Baby-Sitters Club….
