White Boy Rick (2018)
Amazing movie, ignore bad reviews.
--SPOILERS--
The movie 'White Boy Rick,' follows the real person Rick Wershe Jr's troubled youth, and is a sobering movie foreshowing the reality of how upbringing can lead a child into a life of crime and the extreme nature of the American laws regarding drug use. The movie does an amazing job of showing the viewer the true nature of the law while still managing to remain subtle, saying that it 'would've been better for Rick if he had killed someone' (As opposed to selling drugs), in regard to his prison sentence.
--NO SPOILERS--
If you look at the reviews, you will find many reviews saying the movie is 'slow' or 'boring.' These comments tend to stem from what is frequently referred to as 'the Marvel effect.' That being, that if there is not constant action or overdone movie tropes, a lot of people will now consider the movie 'boring.' These reviews also come from people who don't realise what this movie is meant to be. A lot of people watch this movie thinking it will be a 'cool gang action movie,' but that is not at all what the movie is trying to achieve, so if you are thinking of watching this movie for constant action scenes, just save everybody time and watch another Marvel movie for the 5th night in a row.
Every Body (2023)
Terrible movie, tried too hard
The movie tried so hard to push it's point across to the audience, a point that if i may say, has been well and done with time and time again, that it forgets that it is supposed to be a movie to entertain the viewers of the movie. The entire time I was watching this was just spent waiting for the movie to end. It is honestly one of the most bored I have ever been watching a movie or TV show, and any high reviews are just people trying as hard as they can to not be transphobic or homophobic. I think movies should be made to entertain, not to try and persuade somebodys political views. That is a massive waste of time, money and rescources, which pretty well sums up this movie.
