#Sundance2023 has started off on a high note! ✨ click the #linkinbio👆 for my full coverage ☺️

“As the film goes on, #M3GAN adapts to her surroundings, and she becomes closer to Cady. She understands what she wants and how to help her through anything. The more intimate they become, the more overprotective M3GAN gets. Anything said against Cady would irritate her, and this is where she starts to change. #GerardJohnstone’s direction for M3GAN all came down to the subtlety of her glances and how she would pick up on conversations. That is what made the character intriguing. The way Johnstone would lead up to the kills worked well, but it didn’t feel as creepy as it should have. It could be because the humour and anticipation were more interesting than the kill. The combination of young #AmieDonald physically playing M3GAN while #JennaDavis voiced the character was impressive. They did make a unique character with a strong story, which should be the main takeaway here.”

Arrivederci 2022 ✌🏼 the highs were high, and the lows were low, but I had an incredible support system that got me through ♥️ wishing everyone all the peace and happiness in 2023! 🥂

“Manuel Torres (Diego Calva) and Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie) met one fateful night at a party. Torres worked with elephants for the movies, and LaRoy is a star waiting for her big break. At this one party, things changed for both of them, and in a way, they navigated the silent film era together. One thing about Hollywood is that the highs are high, but the lows are low. The drugs, parties, and alcohol aided the crushing reality of how insignificant they felt in the grand scope of Hollywood. This is also applied to Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt), who was at the peak of his career. Chazelle emphasized the extraordinary parties to show the emptiness in these characters. Each had something missing, and cinema filled that void for them. Whether they were in front of the camera or behind, it completed them. However, the ego does get in the way, and actors are fragile people.”

“Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is entertaining from beginning to end and shows the value of friendship in the one life you have to live. The films in the Shrek franchise have always been consistent in their humour and made it appealing to both adults and children. More importantly, this film addresses anxiety in a way children can understand and adults can relate to. The power of animation shows the exact feeling of it through Puss, and it’s subtle. This is a well-rounded animated feature with a fun adventure, well-written characters and an important lesson about gratitude. Even though Banderas has played Zorro, Puss in Boots is still one of his best roles because of how much heart he pours into the character through the dialogue. This sequel took a decade to be released and it was worth the wait. There is a reason why DreamWorks was at the top of its game, and this film is a reminder of the incredible work they’ve done over the years.”
