The idea of imagined friends has been the texture of some fantasy films. It can be used as a metaphor of self or an element of dealing with trauma or crisis. Writer/Director John Krasinski after making "A Quiet Place" and "A Quiet Place, Part II" wanted to likely make something different but that is an interesting build in jumping from one genre to another. He very much succeeds in certain ways with “IF” while he starts to tow the line on some others.

The context of "Asteroid City" reflects in its idea of reflexive personality. While its fuel comes from the itterance in many ways of director Wes Anderson's previous film "The French Dispatch", it does come off as a little more disjointed than the superior "The Grand Budapest Hotel". That said, all of Anderson's films are brilliant in many ways, even those that aren't exactly perfect.

The aspect of the Minions is always trying to understand what they are saying and how their shenanigans will unwind everything they try to accomplish for their master: Gru. With "Minions: The Rise Of Gru",the story is brought back to the villain's tween years where he is just trying to find his identity but also looking for mentors.
