While many films explore adolescence and coming-of-age stories are a dime a dozen, The 400 Blows beautifully and sympathetically offers a raw perspective at a transitional time period with an honest reflection on the sometimes heartbreaking realities of growing up.
Earning two Academy Awards as well as a slew more nominations, Stagecoach has been adapted for radio, as well as remade quite a few times. Although a fun ride, the historical inaccuracies and blatant prejudices portrayed in the movie, particularly pertaining to indigenous cultures, are undeniable and should not be overlooked.
Room presents both the highest and lowest facets of humanity within a captivating narrative that delves into the boundless resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of the most daunting challenges. In this examination of loneliness, identity, and the illusion of protection, Larson showcases her most vulnerable state and also displays the height of her talent. She was then awarded an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for the portrayal.
Set in 1586 Japan, Seven Samurai focuses on farmers in a small mountain village who make a desperate plea to rogue samurai to help them defend themselves from a merciless gang of bandits that frequently terrorizes them.

Directed by Laura Poitras, this documentary aims, like Nan Goldin’s work, to transcend its artistic form and become something of greater meaning and benefit. Providing a look back at Goldin’s long career, the film evokes a numbing sense of nostalgia, with just how much time Goldin has spent fighting for justice equally as powerful as it is heartbreaking. Both inspirational and, at times, melancholy, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed was nominated for an Academy Award, such is its success.
With many liberties often taken with superhero movies, director Patty Jenkins and the team of writers on Wonder Woman go to great lengths to make sure homage is paid to the true origins of the character, which has certainly pleased a large section of the fandom. Powerful and visually excellent, the movie is not simply a treat for the senses but also a nuanced look at the injustices faced by women during this time period.
The Witch thrives at bringing an unending sense of fear, not despite its low budget but thanks to it, with his ability with such confinements thrusting writer/director Robert Eggers into the spotlight. Using a lack of cheap tactics such as jumpscares, this movie instead creeps under your skin and buries its nightmarish visuals and brooding atmosphere into your soul.
A gutwrenchingly powerful biopic that feels all too relevant, The Tale is the sort of film that, despite its specific subject matter, beautifully and accurately depicts the facing of trauma that the majority of adults will one day have to do in a universally relatable way. Given Jennifer Fox’s heavy involvement in the project, each scene feels desperately raw and unfiltered, with Laura Dern turning in a sensitive and captivating lead performance.
