FlixChatter Review: Being The Ricardos (2021)

I didn't grow up watching I Love Lucy, but you would be living under a rock if you don't know about the show or the stars, Lucille Ball and her then real-life husband Desi Arnaz as Lucy & Ricky Ricardo. I knew the show was popular but in case you didn't know just how popular …

Double Reviews: Passing + The Forty-Year-Old Version

Passing and The Forty-Year Old Version are two Netflix films I saw recently that share some similarities. Both are feature film debuts of two female filmmakers, Rebecca Hall and Radha Blank, respectively, and both deal with racial inequality, albeit set in two different periods and dealt with in very different ways. PASSING (2021) "Passing" follows …
