La Guerra Civil (2022)
It hit a nostalgic cord, after all, I'm a Chicana from East L.A who grew up in the 90s. A well-documented sports rivalry that transcended to a cultural one too.

Spencer (2021)
A visually gorgeous and haunting portrayal of Diana that's filled with metaphors. Fundamentally it's a story about love (and the lack thereof).

Finch (2021)
Only Tom Hanks can make me develop an interest in a dog and a robot. A tear duct activator due to its message of purpose and survival.

Eternals (2021)
The abundance of story, characters, and world-building can be overwhelming, but Zhao approaches it brilliantly. Nanjiani saves this film for me.

Bingo Hell (2021)

West Side Story (2021)
West Side Story is visually appealing with some improvement from the original's problematic themes, but I would undoubtedly prefer to watch Spielberg's first shark film
