Selma (2014)

10/10

Powerful
8 December 2014

Many times, films of a historical nature are hard to

appreciate, as in most cases one knows the story and the
outcome. All our lives we have read, heard of and some even
experienced the efforts of Dr. Martin Luther King. […]
However, this film delves deeper than the King Jr. of Black
History month, and gives you an experience with his
humanity as a man. […]

Hidden Figures (2016)

10/10

A must see
27 January 2017

Now that is a movie that everyone needs to see. It relates

the life of three women, but in their tracks the life of
millions of blacks who have contributed to American
culture and success. […] Truly stimulating for the mind – one
of the best movies I ________________________ (see) lately
(after SPOTLIGHT, same level). […]

follow up to Gravity (I can't believe he have not maked
anything since then). You can tell it's a very personal movie
from him, I really love that it is shot in black & white, I think it
fits the themes of this movie very well. […]

AMAZING #renewannewithane
19 December 2019

This is one of the most beautiful shows I ever have the

pleasure of watching. I have read the books and though it
differs from the books it truly is the closest to perfect
television we have got in the past 10 years or so. It tackles
modern day issues that have been alive throughout time
and does so in a thought provoking fascinating way. […]
