Materialists (Song, 2025)

Dating is hard. Love is easy. But in a world obsessed with appearances, wealth, and success, even the simplest connection can feel impossible. Written by Mariane Tremblay I’ve always been your typical romantic comedies girl—I’ve seen them all, and rewatched my favourites over and over. I just can’t get enough of them; it’s probably one of my favourite genres. When Materialists was announced, I was genuinely excited. I knew I would like the film, but I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did or to be moved by it so deeply. Following her impeccable debut, Past Lives (2023), Celine Song returns with her second outstanding feature. Materialistic (adjective): overly concerned or preoccupied with material possessions rather than with intellectual or spiritual things. We’ve always been told to want more—better education, better looks, more money. Why settle for less? Don’t we deserve the best? But what does “the best” even mean? Is it a tall finance guy with a platinum ca...

Babygirl (Reijn, 2024)

What is consent? What is power? What is control? When Samuel told Romy that she was his “babygirl”, something shifted in me, and I am so serious! Written by Mariane Tremblay “ Be a lady they said. Don’t be a temptress. Look sexy. Look hot. Don’t be so provocative. Be a lady they said. Save yourself. Be pure. Don’t talk about sex. Don’t flirt. Don’t be a whore. Don’t sleep around. Don’t lose your dignity. Don’t give yourself away. Don’t be a prude. Don’t be so uptight. Have a little fun. Smile more. Pleasure men. Be experienced. Be sexual. Be innocent. Be dirty. Be virginal. Be sexy.” I can’t stop thinking about Camille Rainville’s 2017 poem , featured in a 2020 video by Girls Girls Girls Magazine with Cynthia Nixon . It poignantly captures the relentless contradictions women face every day - a suffocating demand to be everything at once, yet never too much of anything. This struggle to navigate impossible and restrictive standards remains at the core of society’s expectations of ...

F1 The Movie (Kosinski, 2025)

We are so back—and I mean it. I can’t remember the last time I had this much fun at the movies— F1 The Movie is everything I needed from a summer blockbuster. Written by Mariane Tremblay The nostalgia hit exactly like I knew it would. Growing up, Formula 1 was the soundtrack of every Sunday from March to December at my house. My dad, a lifelong fan, never missed a race. At the time, I was an annoyed tween wondering if those endless laps would ever end, but watching F1 The Movie , I felt that ache of longing, because the truth is, I miss those days. If I could, I’d go back in a heartbeat, and I really wish I could’ve watched this movie for the first time with him! F1 The Movie is an absolute blast. It grips you from the first lap and doesn’t let go. With breathtaking camerawork and fast-paced editing, it throws you into the driver’s seat—every turn, every swerve, every tire squeal felt deep in your chest. Backed by Hans Zimmer’s insane score and what might be the best soundtrack o...
