While on a flight, Seberg locks eyes with a handsome stranger, Hakim Jamal, who turns out to be an outgoing, yet controversial, leader of The Black Panthers Movement. Wanting to “make a difference,” she finds herself swept up in a romance with Jamal while she dives further and further into the movement of the Panthers. It isn’t long, though, until a young FBI agent named Jack Solomon falls for Seberg, making everything a little bit more difficult.

Seberg is a political thriller that will have you feeling a mix of emotions by the film’s end! Check out our movie review.

Movie Review: Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Posted In: Love, Movies

By Hope Ankney

If you’ve been looking for a good period piece with romance and gender representation, then look no further than Celine Sciamma’s newest directorial move. Ending the year off right, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is the French film that burns on female desire. Following the story surrounding the 18th-century painting, the focus of the film revolves around the woman, Héloïse, who refuses to pose for it, defiant against the arranged marriage she’s being forced into. This where she meets the artist commissioned to paint the portrait, Marianne, who she ends up having a very complex and intellectual bond with. Told through Marianne’s eyes, it’s a film that’s hopeful, heart-wrenching, and utterly poetic as a beautiful lesbian representation of love and loss.

Movie Review: The Sky is Pink

Posted In: Love, Movies

By Hope Ankney

If you’re in the mood for a love story that pulls on your heartstrings and takes you on an emotional journey, look no further than Priyanka Chopra’s newest Hindi movie, The Sky is Pink. It acts as the true story of Aisha Chaudhary, a teenager who had pulmonary fibrosis whose parents dedicated their whole lives to helping her survive. Choosing not to focus on the illness aspect of the story, the film is narrated by the daughter, who instead details the incredible love story of her parents. She lets you know quite early on that she’s speaking from beyond the grave, but her retelling of her parents’ 25-year relationship is nothing short of hilarious, heart-warming, and, at times, heart-wrenching as it touches on the beauties of life and death.
