Pinokkio. Pravdivaya istoriya (2021)
Why
Pinocchio didn't look like some wooden thing that crawled out of hell to terrorize us mortals. He's just some dude who happens to be made of wood but still walks just like a normal person for some reason. I don't think magically blessed wood or whatever the hell was going on in this movie is going to work exactly like a human joint.
What was even the point?
Music (2021)
How did anyone manage to screw it up this badly?
Hoo boy where do I even begin? The blatant caricature of autism, the use of restraint during a meltdown, the fact the autistic character isn't played by an autistic actor, that weird subplot where the father kills the kid by the end of it and doesn't face any repercussion subplot that has very little to do with the actual movie...
It's one flaming train wreck after the other, and either sia or whoever was writing the script either think this is how autism genuinely is, or is just too stupid and incompetent to use google. Probably both.
The plot is surface level at best, I mean, drug user trying to get her life back on track while caring for mentally disabled younger sister? Could it be anymore obvious it wants an Oscar if it tries?
Autism isn't all sunshine and glitter and rainbows like sia likes to portray it as. She had the opportunity to use Music's character to demonstrate the struggles someone like Music would face day to day from sensory sensitivity to social isolation. But no, Music is little more than a living prop for the other characters, and we got stuck with this monstrosity.
Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
An incredibly fun two hours
The movie doesn't really go out of its way to paint an intense arch or anything like that. And honestly, that's refreshing right now. The story is heartwarming, the jokes are funny, and Sonic's his usual confident self, but not to the point of it being unbearable. If you've got a couple of hours to spare and aren't looking for anything to serious, I would definitely recommend this one!
