Review: Bridgerton (Season Two)

Netflix’s hit series Bridgerton turns over a new leaf in season two with fresh gossip and swoon-worthy romance. Although you may expect a Regency era romance series to attract only seasoned fans of period dramas, season one of Bridgerton drew huge audiences because it was fresh, unashamedly raunchy and beautifully diverse.

Review: Emily in Paris (Season 2)

Emily in Paris is about a 29 year old marketing professional who moves to Paris, France. It follows both her work life and her internal life, and, surprisingly for a show so camp and heavily exaggerated in places, it actually has some fairly relatable elements. For example, Emily’s inability to switch off from work and her anxiousness about doing her job perfectly are common real-world … Continue reading Review: Emily in Paris (Season 2)

Review: Don’t Look Up (2021)

As soon as I saw the star spangled movie poster of Don’t Look Up, I knew it was going to be a good one. I mean, who wouldn’t want to watch Meryl Streep as president? Even so, I was apprehensive to watch it. The sensation that we could be obliterated at any moment is a fear I’m sure we’ve all catastrophized about (right?!). The end … Continue reading Review: Don’t Look Up (2021)

Review- The Lost Daughter

Deliciously sharp in its retaliation against conventional understandings of motherhood,Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut (adapted from a novel of the same name by Elena Ferrante) discards the undercurrent of love that festers beneath any cinematically troubled maternal relationship and sweats out the chaos in the unnatural mother. Olivia Colman’s knack for fascinatingly hateful characters treds new soil as a comparative literature professor and reluctant mother, Leda; … Continue reading Review- The Lost Daughter
