IR Film Review: DAMSEL [Netflix]
The essence of a fantasy and, by expansion, a damsel is an interesting concept of lore in today's society. The crux of "Damsel" from Netflix is wanting the romance but understanding the individuality needed. Millie Bobbie Brown, as a character, persona and performer, is bringing an interesting balance to the table in being able to bridge girlishness but with a sense of power without losing femininity as a matter of course. "Damsel" knows this inherently.
IR Film Review: JUNGLE CRUISE [Disney]
"Jungle Cruise" is a fun ride but not really anything new. Its plot points can be pulled almost directly from "The Mummy" with modern inclusion standards updating (which again is understandable).
