Queens of Drama: Sapphic Hannah Montana

Oh, the price of pop music! Queens of Drama is a glittery, colourful, camp 2000’s fever dream, an ode to standom culture in it’s infancy, the toxicity of fame, the lure of pop culture. All wrapped up in a Lesbian love story for the ages - truthful, raunchy

Seeking Mavis Beacon: A lifestyle, a mirror, a portal.

My life is the way this documentary feels. Lifestyle. I have found it exceedingly hard to explain to people what it was like growing up as a Black girl on the internet when I was too young to be on the internet. ‘Seeking Mavis Beacon’ is the first document that

Two nurses, seemingly two generations of thought and approach, making it work in Mumbai. In what I can only describe as the most lusciously romantic film in a long while, ‘All We Imagine As Light’ is at once both patient and quick, diving us headfirst into the interior worlds of

Maria: Angelina Jolie in her element.

If you love anything I reccomend you, you will simply adore ‘Maria’. It is a visual feast, a compassionate and beautiful symphony of moments from the Diva’s life, a musical tapestry, an uplifting and empowering narrative, and did I mention it was GORGEOUS to look at? Angelina Jolie stars

Dahomey: a stamp in time

I don’t need to hear rapturous applause or raving reviews in the lobby to know a film’s importance. Dahomey serves a very specific, very important, very beautiful purpose - to document the moment the Beninoise got 26 of their Treasures back from the French, and the conversation they
