“Straight Up” explores the difficulty of fitting a sexuality label when the heart wants what it wants.
In many ways, “Outer Banks” may feel like it is going by a checklist as it introduces you to its world and characters, but there is hope that may not be the case.
In Act 1 of “Besties,” we’re introduced to a small group of friends and lovers, all trying to get the most of their relationships – sometimes selfishly.
While the panty shots are unnecessary, “Gleipnir” does present itself as an intriguing action anime with eyebrow-raising characters.
Outside of a short time gap, “Banana Split” is an exploration of female intimacy in both sisterhood and friendships.
As “Unorthodox” exposes you to a Hasidic Jewish community, it also introduces Shira Haas, who has the potential to be either an indie darling or mainstream star.
In part 1 of “Unorthodox,” we are introduced to a young girl yearning for family, and what she gets instead is what it appears to be a religion enforced prison.
“Sing ‘Yesterday’ For Me,” as it addresses the regrets that come with early adulthood, makes you hyper-aware of what is and isn’t going right in your life.
“Freshman Year” avoids being heavy-handed or eye-roll-inducing about faith. Rather, it approaches a young man’s faith, and decisions, with a realistic tone.
“Intermedium,” like most shorts, is an appetizer. And like any appetizer, it leaves you wanting more.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
