Yard Kings (2020)
Masterful Approach to the Story From All Involved
There is professionalism in every single aspect of Yard Kings from the actors to the cinematography to the sound -- it's hard to believe that it's a low-budget, student-led, independent film.
All the elements of the film worked together as we followed these children building a sanctuary, a safe haven, away from the chaos of home.
This film skillfully explores young children taking their own lives into their hands and creating a better reality for themselves and the ones they love.
Yard Kings is an impressive, poignant, and gritty film, so much so that I wish there was more of the narrative to explore. It's easy to see why this student-led film has won several awards and a lot of positive recognition. Brilliant direction from Vasco Alexandre and a masterful approach to the story from all involved.
Don't Worry Darling (2022)
Harry Styles' Accent Was Intentional
In Don't Worry Darling, Harry Styles' accent sparked a lot of discussions. A lot of people criticized his indistinct accent and wrote him off as a trainwreck of an actor but turns out that his muddy accent was an intentional artistic choice and his acting is actually quite decent.
If you've not yet seen the movie and don't want it spoiled for you, don't go any further cuz I'm going to explain why Harry Styles's accent makes sense within the plot of Don't Worry Darling.
LAST WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Don't Worry Darling takes place in a utopian world named Victory which is actually a simulation. In the real world, Jack (played by Harry Styles) is an unemployed deadbeat married to Alice, an overworked doctor.
In the real world, Jack has an American accent.
After being influenced by the manipulative cult leader, Frank, about an ideal Utopian world, Victory, where men could feel important again, Jack drags Alice against her will into this experiment and forges a new identity for himself.
In the Victory world simulation, Jack is well-shaven, successful, and British by choice. He configured his ideal self to be British because being British is more exotic and interesting for him.
His questionable British accent, while he's in the Victory project, makes sense within the plot because his mind is battling between two different realities. He's taken on this fictional British dialect but in truth, he's American. The muddiness of his accent is the result of this psychological battle.

Void (2022)
A Fascinating Narrative on Barrenness & Desperation
Void is a very solid film. Despite a few lulls in the narrative, it was really easy to follow and become invested in the story. The stellar acting, interesting plot, and strong theme really elevated this film beyond your average indie film. The spiritual aspect was exciting and terrifying, and although the plot left a few loose ends, it was compelling enough to eagerly anticipate a potential sequel. Definitely give it a watch if you haven't already.
