TRUE SPIRIT – Review by Liz Braun

January 29, 2023January 29, 2023 Liz Braun anna paquin, Jessica Watson, Sarah Spillane, Teagan Croft, truth-based

Jessica Watson was 16 when she sailed solo around the world, a feat that captured international attention and made her a hero in Australia. The teen left her home in Sydney in the fall of 2009 and returned home seven months later, just before her 17th birthday. Her extraordinary achievement was featured in the documentary 210 Days: Around the World with Jessica Watson; now True Spirit, a Netflix feature starring Teagan Croft as Watson, covers the same ground, only with hair and makeup.

TELL IT TO THE BEES – Review by Leslie Combemale

May 10, 2019 Leslie Combemale 0 Comments anna paquin, Annabel Jankel, Holliday Grainger, lgbtq, tell it to the bees

This love story, which happens in a small town, in post-war Scotland, speaks to the judgement and fear of imprisonment same-sex couples had at the time, since homosexuality was only decriminalized in England in 1967. It also exposes the lack of agency, and often suffocating restrictions and expectations set for women, while showing that love, and the falling into it, is always beautiful.

Anna Chi's The Disappearance of Mrs. Wu is a lighthearted look at intergenerational dynamics, but takes time to tackle significant issues like immigration policies and racial and sexual identity prejudices too.

THE MAGICIAN’S ELEPHANT on @netflix casts a beautiful and emotional spell, proving some things are impossible only until you believe they're not. I enjoyed the marvelous animation, script, and talented voice cast. More in my @AWFJ review. https://awfj.org/blog/2023/03/17/the-magicians-elephant-review-by-valerie-kalfrin/

From John Wick to The Wire and beyond, Lance Reddick was an actor who elevated every production he was involved with. A fierce talent gone way too soon at just 60. #RIP
