Let’s go through the movies one by one in detail:

1. Candyman

           Year: 2021

           Director: Nia DaCosta

A paranormal classic horror drama film titled Candyman starred Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, and Colman Domingo. Nia DaCosta’s direction lately ignited its spark on the big screen in 2021. The screenplay was also shared with famous actors, namely Vanessa Williams, and how can we forget Tony Todd bringing back their roles from the original film? There’s a concept in the movie that if someone says Candyman five times, the person will be killed. Candyman has a lot of exciting ideas, and it cleverly continues the vintage original.

2. Manchester by the Sea 

           Year: 2016

           Director: Kenneth Lonergan

Kenneth Lonergan wrote and directed the 2016 American psychic drama film Manchester by the Sea. This movie is a remedy for profound grief, from which recovery is challenging or impossible. The show revolves around a depressed and anguish man who was unintentionally liable for the death toll of his three young kids and must care for his adolescent nephew just after the death of his brother, and is centered on the concepts of depressive episodes, guilt, despair, blame, family dysfunction, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

3. Small Axe: Red, White and Blue 

           Year: 2020

           Director: Steve McQueen

Steve McQueen’s 2020 historical epic film Red, White, and Blue was founded by McQueen as well as Courttia Newland. It stars the best-looking and most remarkable actor in Hollywood, John Boyega, named Leroy Logan; He was portrayed as a London Metropolitan Police officer who established the Black Police Alliance and tried to reform the force from within. The real story of Leroy Logan, who witnessed his father being assaulted by two police officers at a young age, inspired him to enroll in the Metropolitan Police and modify their racist attitudes from the inside out.

4. We Need to Talk about Kevin 

           Year: 2012

           Director: Lynne Ramsay

We Need to Talk About Kevin has always been a tremendous and outstanding movie from 2011, a big screen mental and emotional suspense drama film produced by Lynne Ramsay from a film adaptation co-written with Rory Stewart Kinnear and based on Lionel Shriver’s 2003 novel of the same title. A long and complex development and financing process was initiated in 2005, with filming early part in April 2010. The film’s heartbreaking nature is perfectly illustrated by a scene wherein the Kevin, as a child, partially or entirely declines his sociopathic traits while ill, giving Swinton’s role a brief opportunity to feel like a dearly held mom, only to physically and psychologically shut her out once more as shortly as his health and lifestyle returns, striking her hopes of a breakthrough

5. One Night in Miami 

           Year: 2021

           Director: Regina King

One Night in Miami is indeed a mythologized story that raises challenging questions. The film told in the form of a single night’s episode story in a hallway at Hampton House in Miami, examines four leading people of the Black American Progression in 1964 and their contributions to the struggle. This outstanding movie, with the title One Night in Miami, seems difficult to watch. It spreads like wildfire with a plethora of valuable themes, and each one has a profound impact on its audience. The film demonstrates the preeminence of four significant men whose contributions will impact the civil movement in the United States through a series of scenes.

6. You were never really here 

           Year: 2018

           Director: Lynne Ramsay

You Were Never Really Here is a must-watch movie in Hollywood times.  Lynne Ramsay wrote and directed this 2017 neo-noir crime psychic thriller film.

Moreover, the rescuer in inquiry, a foreboding, quiet veteran titled “Joe (Joaquin Phoenix)— tries to purge his demons by rescuing everyone else from traumatic situations. Joe, in particular, searches for lost girls who are sex trafficking victims. He saves them and then viciously murders their kidnappers and abusers. Joe moves around like a ghost because he works for money outside the legal system, promising his clients shelter and execution.

7. Emma 

           Year: 2020

           Director: Autumn de Wilde

She takes her responsibilities seriously, shielding staff members from inappropriate customer interactions. Despite her dedication to the café, her inept ceo, Ben Cubby, has threatened to terminate her numerous times. Over a long, pretty weird day, the general manager of a highway-side “sports bar with curvatures” has her incurable sense of hope and faith in her girls, her clients, and herself tested.

10. The Wolf of Snow Hollow 

Year: 2020

Director: Jim Cummings

Despite The Wolf of Snow Hollow’s shaky switches between comedy and horror, writer, director, and star Jim Cummings delivers an unexpectedly spooky combination.
