  Run Woman Run 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by J712 13 Mar 2022

  More indigenous films, please! That being said, I love that that’s not necessarily the focus of this film (although still a very important thread throughout); it’s very much about people dealing with common struggles, whether that be living a healthier lifestyle or trying to live with unresolved, immense grief. Ultimately, Run Woman Run is a triumph of the human spirit. Highly recommend.

  Clueless 1995

  ★★★½ Watched by J712 11 Aug 2021

  This movie is so ‘90s it feels like it’s a mockumentary. Not a bad thing.

  Black Orpheus 1959

  ★★★ Watched by J712 25 Jul 2020

  Took a bit to get into as the beginning is pretty slow. Nevertheless, it was interesting to see such a classic story told from a different cultural perspective, and how quintessential mythological elements were incorporated. There is one giant plot hole, however, since the title character is aware of the original Orpheus, and the big climatic moment is wrapped up quickly.
