LITTLE WOMEN (2019)
"Gerwig uses cinematography, narrative structure and especially colour theory to explore themes of love, loss and nostalgia for simpler times making it a painfully relatable period piece. "
Eman Rizwan
EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (1990)
"Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands (1990) presents a visually striking and emotionally complex story about an artificial man who is brought from isolation into a seemingly perfect suburban community"
Taylor Walker
BROOKLYN (2015)
"Through Eilis’s journey, the film examines how leaving your homeland can create a conflict between the identity of an individual that has been shaped by the past and the person that an individual hopes to become."
Casey MacMaster
WEST SIDE STORY (2021)
"Spielberg uses dynamic cinematography, immersive production design, a legendary musical score, and a poignant narrative structure to explore themes of identity, prejudice, and the tragic consequences of division."
