The Ithacan

Netflix original series “Kingdom” takes zombie-horror to a whole new level.

British Netflix series “Sex Education” portrays many aspects of teenagehood unrealistically. However, unlike many other plots about teens, it succeeds in its honest, realistic depictions of sex.

“Creed II” continues the “Rocky” franchise with just as much gusto and flash.

“Wildlife” leaves the audience with a reminder: Life can be the hardest it’s ever been but still be beautiful.

“Can You Ever Forgive Me?” is a heist film, but don’t expect any bombs or car chases.

The film follows Stevie’s journey through the height of adolescence, his experiences stemming from his wish to be as “cool” as his brother.

Throughout this eight-episode series, topics such as class inequality, religion, HIV and homosexuality play important roles in developing the storyline.

It’s just disappointing that “Nappily Ever After” couldn’t make it’s satirical, socially critical aspects clearer and truly reach its full potential.

“The Kindergarten Teacher” succeeds in making a movie that is creepy and uncomfortable to watch but also thought-provoking and sad.

“A Star is Born” is a beautifully tragic film about love, heartbreak, addiction and fame that coincides with the thrilling world of music.

Though “Blaze” is a dramatization of the ’70s musician Blaze Foley’s life, Hawke doesn’t adhere to typical biopic conventions.

While it got off to a slow start, the ending of “A Simple Favor” made the first hour and a half of the movie worth watching.
