Who Am I Now? (2021)
what year am I in now?
I don't understand. Aren't we done with shameful gays? It's not the 1950s. They acting like it's illegal. You're in Canada!
Also this sexuality discovery for women in their early twenties might have made sense but these guys look like they're pushing forty. Who told them they looked young enough to play college students?
The straight white male is the only one making any sort of sense for a change.
Additional points: the acting is brutal, the violence between characters is ridiculous, toxic entitlement doesn't make you root for the characters I presume you're meant to get behind, the stereotypes are very 2001.
Girl/Girl Scene - The Movie (2019)
A list of things I hated about this film.
The love letter is a rehash of the love note from IT.
This white woman is actually trying to pass herself off as Iranian.
The player lesbian trope is so outdated it hurts.
No one in this film looks like they have ever smoked a cigarette in their life, which wouldn't be an issue except all the characters apparently smoke.
Making date rape a plot point but making out like it's no big deal is damaging.
There isn't a single healthy relationship/friendship in this entire film.
Can Tucky Williams please stop making films because they are genuinely insulting on so many levels.
Sincerely Louis CK (2020)
Not a return to form
I like his comedy but you'd think after the controversy he created, he'd be more mindful of earning back a little respect. His material has always been offensive, not something I have a problem with, but there were some jokes in this that just didn't have the self awareness of his previous stuff.
"Late in the set, C.K. follows a blame-shifting joke on consent with an observation that women have the "skill" of being able to seem fine when they're actually not. In the past, C.K. would have spent more time investigating why women grin-and-bear their way through galling circumstances and the ways that men, including himself, have forced women to put on that kind of facade. Now it just feels more like a way of excusing his "thing," his transgressions." - LA Times
SparkShorts: Purl (2018)
Important
This film is getting just a little too much grief in the reviews.
It's an important film in terms of women directors telling their own stories. Pixar is a pretty male dominated company as is the rest of the film industry and it's nice to see that changing. Yes the film isn't exactly subtle about what it's trying to comment on, but why should it be?
And for those criticising the animation, yeah the background stuff isn't top tier but I can't imagine the budget was either.
