Victim/Suspect (2023)
All parents of a teenager should watch this with their child
1 out of 3 women are victims of asult and those are just the ones that report it. I believe every parent should sit down with their teenager and watch this documentary.
Young girls and men who report asult every day, but are often written off or worse, criminalized themselves because it's easier than actually investigating the crime. From the time we are little, we are taught to trust the police but sometimes they can re-victimize the victim by either poor training or lack of empathy.
This documentary was extremely informative and well made. It was an eye opener, because I never knew that women who were assaulted were being convicted of "false reporting to a police officer" because of our broken justice system.
One True Loves (2023)
I'll be cliche, the book was better
Of course the book will always be better, because you are taking an eight hour read and condescending it into an hour and a half movie. Had this been a mini series I think it would have worked better. The beginning of the movie was kind of confusing because the flashbacks weren't as clear as they were in the book. The book explored Emma and Sam's relationship more. During Emma and Jesse's the trip to Maine, the reader finds out more reasons why they've grown apart, and quite frankly, Jesse is a complete jerk. The book is mostly from Emma's perspective and never from Sam's. However, I can see why the screenwriters added the scenes where Sam is speaking to his students because it added comic relief, and made it a rom-com. All and all it was a fun movie, but I suggest reading the book.
