What We’re Watching

In 1993, a movie dropped that has since become a chola, Chicana, and Latinx cult classic: ‘Mi Vida Loca.’ Let’s breakdown why.

Cannes winner, ‘La Jauría,’ portrays the topic of violence caused by drug trafficking and armed conflict from an intimate perspective.

Julio Torres’ “Problemista” is a unique, hilarious, and poignant look at what it takes for marginalized folks to make their dreams a reality.

‘Sister & Sister’ takes the longing of adolescence and hangs it over everything, bringing empathy, care, and warmth to its heroines.

Friends and acquaintances constantly recommended that I watch Aubrey Plaza’s work – and as a deadpan Latina, I get now why they did.

Scream VI, much like its immediate predecessor, breathed new life into its franchise, thanks to its heroic and empowering Latina leads.

With “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” Ke Huy Quan reclaimed his rightful place as an actor, but Asian communities remain underrepresented.

SXSW 2023 looks pretty good with Latinx representation, covering religion, sisterhood, cultural assimilation, and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos!

You Season 4 Part 2 explodes the notion of a kind and misunderstood Joe, even if the show’s method makes me facepalm at their choices. 

Guillermo del Toro’s version of “Pinocchio” artfully merges beauty and horror and so reveals its Mexican soul despite its source material.
