Daybreak (2019)
Not a complete waste of time but a regrettable waste of time.
It's got a smart idea and great acting but the idea didn't quite produce a ride worth taking. With vomit worthy teenage "love" stories and an attempt at a moral lesson that's just a cry of desperation I found myself begging for it to be over. But I couldn't stop watching! I was hoping it'd be worth it at the end. It wasn't. If you do plan on giving it a try, feel free to skip over EVERY SINGLE FLASHBACK!!! They add absolutely nothing worthy to the storyline. I may be cynical, or maybe I just have a low threshold for BS.
Isn't It Romantic (2019)
Cute but white-washed
The movie was really cute and it's got an original plot and a great moral that I think we could (and should) all get behind. But there were like 4 people of color with lines in the entire movie and one of them was the guy with the falafel stand at the beginning. Does that even count?? There were complete scenes with not one person of color on set, Like the scene on the subway platform when she gets arrested.
It was a cute movie that I enjoyed, though it was a little slow at first. But the underrepresentation of people of color in the film is a shame. And yes, I know Priyanka is a woman of color, but still.
