"These are two of the ripped-from-the-headlines social realist films that Warner Brothers made in the 1930s. I Am a Fugitive is like a classical tragedy, majestic and horrifying, and very thorough in its presentation of systematic injustice. Heroes For Sale is more melodramatic, covering a mixed bag of problems – drug addiction, displacement of workers through automation, and violent labor struggles. Wellman used real workers and homeless people in some of these scenes, which increases the impact."

If you enjoy this review of Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma (2020), please remember to like, share and subscribe.
In format, it’s a curious mix of twee sitcom family wrestling with their addiction to social media interrupted by a seemingly endless parade of silicon valley Frankensteins who, having made their millions in stock options, queue up to deliver sincere but vaguely milquetoast mea culpas as their various monsters run amok.

Ethan Hawke is fantastic (0 more)
The back and forth between flashbacks and the film within a film is confusing at times (0 more)
Seriously depressing, a masterful musician and his addiction
As a fan of jazz great Chet Baker, Born to be Blue is an honest and brutal portrayal of the trumpeter, especially during his worst time battling addiction. After a mysterious but vicious assault Baker, portrayed by Ethan Hawke, he is left unable to play and kicked out of the industry on parole.

While it is mostly accurate, his love interest is an amalgamation of his three ex-wives and so there is a bit of artistic licence. And at times it flips into flashbacks of black and white, which is a film in a film, when Baker played himself in his biopic. But mostly it's his relationship with heroin which he took until the end of his life in 1988, though the film only concentrates on his growing insecurity between 1950 and 1960.

It's sad knowing how it ends, too many talents lost in the haze of drugs.
