There's a lot I can respect about this film. That being said, everything I did enjoy still doesn't make it a good movie

Bombshell 2019
I'm trying not to be harsh on this film but my god was it terrible. How did Margot's character go from a Tomi Lahren right wing millennial to a politically ambiguous queer woman in the span of 3 minutes? Charlize attempting to sound like Megyn ended up being a Christian Bale as Batman fiasco that I wanted to end badly and why was it even centered on Megyn and her relationship with Trump? What did that have to do with literally anything? Oh well. Just as I thought, TRASH!

The Edge of Seventeen 2016
"I wish you loved me that much."
Teenage angst can be very hard to capture in film, especially teenage girl angst. I've seen films time and time again attempt to portray teenage girls and the end result is disingenuous. You don't have to like Hailee Steinfeld because let's face it, she is annoying at times, but what her character felt was real. Her struggles do not have to make sense to us, the viewers, what matters is it made sense to her. This was a honest and raw portrayal of a young girl. Not many films have achieved that.
