The Midnight Sky (2020)
Subtle and beautiful
I see many naysayers on here complaining about a "lack of story". There was very much a beautiful story throughout about a father and daughter alongside the science fiction. It was complex and beautifully scored and shot. For those who want the usual action science fiction space movie, look elsewhere. Similar to Hulu's "The First", this has a slow pace with very subtle story telling. It is not a bad film because of this. It's simply off the norm.
And enough with the "did they get the space travel science right?" No one does. No one.
White Girl (2016)
Protagonist has ZERO redeeming values
While I understand the intent of showing the girl going bad journey, this film, from beginning to end, reveals the most idiotic, immoral, unaware, dangerous, and disgusting behavior. From beginning to end, the protagonist main character "White Girl" does nothing but put herself in vulnerable positions party after party to a point of date rape, being left at a club in a state of medical need, in a sexual relationship with her boss, drug dealer(s) and more.
I've got as open a mind as the next person, but this film was clearly a misogynist's dream script. To show a woman in a state of dependence and utter helplessness throughout the entire film leaves me wondering...WHAT WAS THE POINT?
I don't like her. I can't imagine any men like her other than the repeated should-be-x-rated sexual escapades. She also looks like a 12 year old, not a 21 year old. Chris Noth has lost my respect ENTIRELY for making this film.
Illustrating a scenario where women are here purely for men's entertainment, will, sexual conquer, and use as an object vs. human being is a tale which needs to end in this country particularly. Congratulations for yet another patriarchal masterpiece of crap.
