As we prepare for the opening of theaters and the return to normal life practices, we want to remind people that we are still within the thralls of a pandemic, and recommend people check out our article on ”If You Should Go Out” Here. Until then though, if you do go to a theater make sure it has a policy of requiring attendees to wear masks, and sit in isolated groups out of proximity of other viewers.
The Dissident – Releasing on Streaming
Rotten Tomatoes Reviewer Score – 96%
Bryan Fogel covers, in documentary form, the story of Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post journalist whose disappearance, and subsequent murder. He breaks down the cover-up and actions of the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul on that fateful day.
This story dominated the news cycle, but as of recently has disappeared from the modern view. We should not forget the horrible acts of Saudi Arabia’s government and the lack of response from specific governmental agencies around the world. I only hope this documentary brings this topic back to the media’s forefront.
I Carry You With Me – Releasing in Theaters
Rotten Tomatoes Reviewer Score – 95%
Two men, played by Armando Espitia and Christian Vazquez, find love in Mexico. However, their families and lives can not abide by their life choices. The world pushes them apart, and this movie tells the story of their love over the decades.
If you are looking for an LGBT film covering the endurance of love in spite of many challenges. The heartbreak is powerful though, and if you are triggered by rejection from family and friends because of who you love, then I warn about that topic, because it is covered here, but importantly so.
