American Woman (2018)
Worth investing in
A lot of good things in this as we explore the lives of two working-class sisters, one of whom goes on multiple journey's. Got to support intelligent film-making and that is certainly what we have here (title aside).
To be honest I thought the males were less nuanced (stereotypical, really) but it did allow the females to shine through, and Miller and Hendricks weren't shy in taking their chances: great roles and excellent performances.
Maybe an underrated thread of this was the dual mum/gran role and how it related to the son and his father - modern families, eh ..
I liked how it resolved.
Gräns (2018)
Interesting metaphors
Well crafted metaphor for all kinds of outsiders to the modern world; autism (ADHD, Asperger's etc), transgender, etc.
How do people relate with the mainstream, how does the mainstream relate to them, what can people with different abilities contribute, the importance of being open-minded (as science and awareness grows), how do they find meaning and love ... also, I'm glad for the choice of ending.
