If Beale Street Could Talk

Originally based on a novel by James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk, is a moving story about a black couple in the 1970s navigating love, while trying to break free of wrongful accusation and racial oppression. The plot is mesmerizing, and the acting incredible.

A Star Is Born

Starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, the remake of A Star Is Born deserves all its praise. The music is absolutely fantastic, especially the song, “Shallow.” A love story between two struggling musicians, the movie is heart-wrenching and exemplifies countless themes about human nature and fame.

Green book

“Life isn’t black and white”. The movie based on true events starring Mahershala Ali, as a black pianist on tour, and Viggo Mortensen, Ali’s driver and bodyguard, reminds us of this message, as a unique bond joins the two men through their discoveries of personal relationships and discrimination.

The Favourite

A perfect period piece about deteriorating Queen Anne and her advisor running the country during a war with France. When a new servant joins the ranks, Queen Anne’s advisor has a new relationship to manage. The acting, costumes, and set design warranted the countless awards that The Favourite has won and been nominated for.

Roma

Tying with The Favourite for the most-nominated films ever (10) at the Academy Awards, Roma is an incredibly emotional and inspiring movie. Centering on a Mexican family in 1970s Mexico, the movie navigates the relationships between husband and wife, as well as caretakers/domestic workers and family.
