When reviewing a #ChristopherNolan film, I will admit, it's never just about the film. It becomes about his career, comparing his work, the spectacle, and cinema in general. #TheOdyssey

Mary Oliver penned her first poem at age 13. For decades, she was the literary world’s best-kept secret, biding her time so all of us could prepare for her words, which didn’t just describe the beauty of the world; they were the exact linguistic equivalent of it. In her late 40s, she won the Pulitzer Prize, proving Oliver was like the flora she so often wrote about—she just needed a little time to bloom.

The demons in these films have always been scary, but in this instance, they are no match for hillbilly in-laws. Take out the horror, and you’re left with a backwoods Jane Austen film. #evildeadburn

Blending comedy with drama—tackling the serious eating disorder bulimia nervosa—the film requires an adjustment to tap into Early’s flow, but once there, it’s a magical experience. #maddiessecret

Milly Alcock’s trauma-driven rebellious fervor salvages the film with a profoundly human portrayal we can all relate to: messy, flawed, grieving, and cynical. #supergirl

Hayley Kiyoko's heartfelt coming-of-age drama makes the leap to the big screen, with terrific performances by Maya da Costa and Myra Molloy as the two young girls at the heart of the sapphic love story, who learn to navigate insecurity and awkwardness on the path to self-acceptance.
