Lost in the Reel's video review for Bottoms Bottoms comes from second-time feature director and writer Emma Seligman, whose first film Shiva Baby was a critical and cult favorite just three years ago. Now, I was in the minority and did not love Shiva Baby like everyone else seemed to, but I
Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie offers a rather unique take on the romantic comedy story between a girl and a boy. For starters: the female Miyako Shikimori has a distinctly masculine personality compared to the male Yuuki Izumi's distinctly feminine personality. For the rest: there are many strong
I would best describe Lycoris Recoil as a modern and light-hearted take on the girls with guns genre. Basically: it's like if you took Gunslinger Girl, and made it not morbidly depressing. Quite the opposite, really. It even has a healthy dose of yuri in it. There's a reason why almost everyone has
Dragon Age: Absolution is an interesting mix of epic fantasy adventure and a heist story. However, it never really rises above being a decent story. The only thing that saves this adult animated series from mediocrity, in my opinion, is a combination of likable main cast and its good LGBTQ
Focus Features Spoiler Alert is based on the memoir of a longer name: Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Other Four-Letter Words. The film stars Jim Parsons (Big Bang Theory) and Ben Aldrige (Fleabag) as Michael Ausiello and Kit Cowan, respectively. Michael Ausiello is a real
It's rather depressing that you can tell The Owl House season 2 is a rushed affair. It's no wonder since Disney axed the show during production of season 2. With multiple storylines often packed like sardines into individual episodes, the whole series feels hyper-compressed and overly accelerated
Lost in the Reel's video review for Young Royals Season 2 This week has been a real treat for me, as two of my favorite TV shows from 2021 are releasing their long-awaited sophomore seasons in the span of a couple of days. While I was let down by The White Lotus's newest batch of episodes, I
Lost in the Reel's video review for They/Them A horror movie that takes place in a gay conversion camp with an ensemble of out-and-proud young performers? From a three-time Oscar-nominated writer? And produced by Blumhouse, who knows a thing or two about this particular genre? And to top it all
Daemons of the Shadow Realm gives us some truly fateful meetings between old friends (and family) and new in Ep. 14 "Family and Friends". All complete with some dark secrets spilling forth out of the shadows, and Yuru's bond with his old friends and family being tested quite a bit. All in all, I
Cinema history is riddled with both coming-of-age tales and biopics aplenty. Tony, the new feature by Matt Johnson (BlackBerry, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie), lies at the intersection of these well-worn traditions. Based on Anthony Bourdain’s chronicles of his early journey into the
Indulging every absurd idea that pops into his head, the film unfolds with propulsive vibrance and unshackled execution. That approach turns out to be a bit of a gift and a curse for Riley; a gift in the sense that we get something fresh and original, but a curse because its unbridled approach
