β€˜The Chronology of Water’ Review: Kristen Stewart’s Visceral and Haunting Directorial Debut Finally Arrives - THE ROLLING TAPE The Chronology of Water is a visceral and haunting portrait of sexual abuse, the ripples that trauma has throughout one’s life, and the avenues one explores to hide or heal.

β€œTHE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER is by no means an easy undertaking. We should be so thankful for Stewart’s persistence in getting it made, though; it is one of the most honest and raw films of the year”

I found #Highest2Lowest to be an imperfectly glorious testament to Spike Lee and Denzel Washington as artists. Uneven, but the film’s highs soar.

Disney’s Accidental Ode to the Coming-Out Experience: β€˜Sky High’ 20 Years Later - THE ROLLING TAPE On the surface, Sky High may just seem like a high school comedy. In reality, the film is thematically rich with ideas about authentic identity and pushing against societal structures.

Happy Birthday #SkyHigh 🚌🦸
