Director Goran Stolevski’s queer coming-of-age romance “Of an Age” is truly a testament to the power of human connection and self-discovery.
Luca Guadagnino has once again directed a treat of a film that finds beauty in unconventional places.
This week, host Rachael Weinberg compares “The Photograph” (2020) to “When Harry Met Sally” (1989) and talks about the progression of rom coms and race in romance movies.
“After” takes a problematic fanfiction and turns it into a frustrating and predictable movie.
Every month, a slew of sci-fi thrillers, rom-coms and documentaries dribble out on Netflix — most with little or no fanfare.

On this episode of Deja View, host Jake Leary is joined by Staff Writers Natalie Newman and Liza Gillespie to talk about the fourth version of “A Star is Born.” The 2018 version updates the story but doesn’t do enough to avoid the problematic tropes of previous iterations.
“A Star is Born” is a beautifully tragic film about love, heartbreak, addiction and fame that coincides with the thrilling world of music.
“Twilight” is not a perfect movie, but it’s certainly not as bad as an entire generation thought it was cool to pretend.
Fogelman takes too long to get to the moral of the story, which is ruined by the ending’s excessive emphasis on the lesson.
“Puzzle” pieces together complex emotions, a creative plot and moving acting to create an engaging, poignant film.
Though there’s nothing wrong with a plot twist or cliffhanger, the film ends in such a way that the viewer is left with nothing more than confusion.
The frames flow with intoxicating grace, making the characters feel more real than the theater and the bags of popcorn in the viewers’ hands.
