FARAWAY (2023): A Rom-Com That Says, Hell Yes Women Get Better With Age

The trailer makes Faraway (2023) look like it's going to be your standard Netflix assembly-line rom-com, written with the help of a random cliché generator, but it is, in fact, a much  more unique, nuanced, and tender story about a middle-aged woman finding happiness, and yes, a second chance at love in the process. Please … Continue reading FARAWAY (2023): A Rom-Com That Says, Hell Yes Women Get Better With Age

YOU PEOPLE (2023): This Didn’t Go The Way I Thought It Would

You know the expression, You can't see the forest for the trees? Well, this movie feels like You can't see the plot or the point for the dated jokes and in-your-face attempts at humor.
