New Release Review - "Strange Darling"

I always find it odd how Hollywood continually imports acting talent from the rest of the English speaking world when there are so many accomplished American actors with movie star attributes working in TV. Big time movie stars like Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman can now drop down to TV, but a stigma persists regarding promoting TV stars to movie roles. Willa Fitzgerald should have gotten attention from Hollywood following her lead role in the Scream TV series, but a minor role in 2019's The Goldfinch is as close as she's gotten to mainstream cinema. Any doubts over whether Fitzgerald has what it takes to be a big screen lead are dispelled within minutes of director JT Mollner's Strange Darling. Fitzgerald grabs our attention from the off and holds us in a vice-like grip as she delivers one of the most electric performances of recent indie cinema.

A Girl Can Touch the Sky, by Ravinol Chambers, is an immersive documentary that takes the audience deep into the culture and sometimes obtrusive gender roles across India. Chambers who was once a monk in the city of Vrindavan, India helps to shine a lot on the situations that are most pressing to many girls in the villages of India. As he and a crew travel down the west coast of India, they hope to raise awareness about the difficulties girls in the area have in accessing education. The documentary provides a manifold of interviews that discuss the education topic for girls from different points of view. Chambers shows a plethora of conflicting opinions that help the viewer become entrenched in the complex culture of India. We see disappointed fathers, hopeful girls, and educators speak on the matter at hand.
