Alena (2015)
Unique and beautiful
This is a teen story. It's about queerness, it's about girls, it's about self-hatred. Taking place at a girl school, and following a girl at a new school. It contains insecurity and bullying. I don't wanna do any spoilers, but it's not what you think it is.
This movie is very much about teenage girls. Both their best and worst qualities. It's a movie that will sit with you. Somehow it captures so well what it is to be a teenage girl.
This needs to reach is audience. I think any queer person will enjoy this story. It's isn't very horror like, I think maybe if you don't like horror you can enjoy this if you enjoyed teenage stories and queer stories. It's happy and sad at the same time, and it feels very real somehow.
Amanda Knox (2016)
Watch to think and reflect, not to get any answers
I think it's a really interesting documentary, although I'd say it's lacking something. I guess I've to reluctantly agree that it's biased, if you're asking yourself the question if Amanda is innocent or guilty. Personally I believe it could be both. It's hard to find out what happened and all we can do now is theorize. The thing is this is and was a good story, and honestly if they did it I'm pretty sure they have gotten their punishment. I'm not someone who believes in prisons, and four years is a long time. I would have loved to see more of Meredith and Amanda's life in Italy, seeing their friends. We did get some, but it would have been great to explore that more. But does it really matter if they are guilty or innocent, isn't it more interesting to use this to reflect over this society? Tragedies makes for great stories.
