American Born Chinese (2023)
I could relate to this so much
I could relate to this so much with my background as an Asian American. The most poignant thing about this is the fact that it is very believable. The writing is a perfect representation of the reality of being Asian with Asian parents not born in the United States and here you are born in the USA and somewhere caught in the middle of both worlds. Do we need to be loyal to the culture or our parents or create our own identity? This has and probably always will be confusing for me. What a wonderful surprise in American Born Chinese to see myself in this delightful show. Crossing my fingers for more like it. Thank you to the creators.
Girls on Film (2023)
An art film set in a dark reality
An art film set in a dark reality so poignant that there were times I had to look away. To clarify, There was one scene in particular that was extremely painful to watch because I could see the true agony in the actresses eyes. ***SPOILER ALERT*** The scene I'm referring to is one in which the actress who plays Rain is taken advantage of by a man in a hotel in such a cruel, heartless way that my heart hurt for her. Tremendous work from all involved. I've seen director Robin Bain's previous Girl Lost films which brought me to this one and it did not disappoint. Dark, raw, intense and completely devastating.
Girl Lost: A Hollywood Story (2020)
A realistic view into the world of escorts living in Los Angeles
A realistic view into the world of escorts living in Los Angeles. This film is a work of art in its own way and art isn't always beautiful. Raising the bar for independent films, the strong story, great writing and directing leads to credible performances by the actors. The original score is also superb.
Requiem for a Dream (2000)

Takes you on a trip into the world of drug addiction and doesn't let go. My heart breaks for women such as Ellen Burstyn's character. Amazing film.
