My Thoughts: I was disheartened and enlightened by this documentary. There are people fighting the good fight. But the system is so broken and corrupt.

Storyline: A pop singer's songs and artistic identity have been stolen by her ex-boyfriend/manager and shamelessly pasted onto his new girlfriend/protege. Locked together in a small concert venue after hours, the three of them confront the emotional abuses of the past...until things turn violent.
My Thoughts: As it does in every Into the Dark episode from Hulu things get pretty crazy really fast. It's not one of their better ones but it's worth a watch. Revenge is sweet.

Storyline: A Chinese family discovers their grandmother has only a short while left to live and decide to keep her in the dark, scheduling a wedding to gather before she dies.
Tagline: Based on an Actual Lie.
My Thoughts: I loved this movie. Awkwafina continues to show her acting chops. And I loved the ethical quandaries of whether or not to let their mother/grandmother know. Sweet and beautiful. I really wish it had gotten more award buzz.

Storyline: Sarah, a socially isolated woman with a fondness for arts and crafts, horses, and supernatural crime shows fins her increasingly lucid dreams trickling into her waking life.
My Thoughts: It was interesting. But I didn't know what it was trying to say. As someone who deals with family who has schizophrenia, I didn't like what it implied. The actors were great but the material was not there, unfortunately.

Storyline: Zak runs away from his care home to make his dream of becoming a wrestler come true.
My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this coming-of-age story with Zak. He was truly a delight. We get to see Shia LeBeouf gain some perspective too along the way. Though the romance was forced, it didn't detract from the overall feel-good story.
