The Breadwinner
The Breadwinner serves as a reminder of the importance of story to a world in crisis and an encouragement to those living under extremism and oppression that resistance is possible and a good thing to do.
Wonder Woman
Despite some minor plot holes and a less-than-satisfying final fight, Wonder Woman delivers a solid, funny, engaging superhero origin film with some of the best action sequences from the last ten years.
Imitation of Life (1959)
Imitation of Life’s positive notes might not be enough to vault it onto everyone’s must-watch list, but the performances of its supporting actresses keep it in the list of Greatest Films of All Time.
Whale Rider
Whale Rider is well-deserving of the praise it has received, particularly for the representation of authentic familial relationships, powerful female characters, and portrayal of the Maori people in film.
