The movie is a lot to unpack. It is a love letter to international film. Madame Simone Signoret's films are screened and discussed throughout. The films serve as a guide to the various relationships within the film. No. 7 Cherry Lane deals with the 1967 student uprising and the aftereffects of the Chinese Civil War as Mrs. Lu is a Taiwanese refugee in Hong Kong. The animation is static, either the cels were shot at 48 fps or cels took up multiple frames to give a slow motion effect to all the action. The film is also comparable to Soul since both deal with life and falling leaves.

"Like Night of the Hunter, this is a movie that captures this uncanny, twilit feeling of childhood, one that’s full of wonder and possibility but also the dread of carrying the burden of a parent’s secrets. Of course here it’s inextricably linked to the Spanish Civil War and a reflection on the Franco era. But seeing El Sur for the first time, with very little knowledge of Spanish history or that Erice considers the film “incomplete,” I was still completely enraptured by it. I find the idea of a daughter discovering and living with her father’s hidden longing unbelievably powerful, and Erice and José Luis Alcaine’s imagery is unparalleled."

Prince, soon-to-be-King, T'Challa's first solo outing, after the events of Captain America: Civil War, in which he returns home to be crowned King of Wakanda and soon finds himself challenged by the sins of his (father's) past.

Very much a movie of two halves (both literally and figuratively), I found the first half to be a wee bit on the slow side, before events - and the pace -picks up in the second.

I'm not enamoured, however, of the now-overused CGI throw-down between T'Challa and Eric Killmonger (who does have a legitimate grievance) in the final third of the movie.
