It's a scene that's resonated with people around the world.
Love, Simon is a monumental queer film known for being the first major Hollywood studio film to focus on a gay teenage romance. The impact is undeniably astronomical, but the relationship between Simon (Nick Robinson) and his father Jack (Josh Duhamel) has deeply resonated with many in the LGBTQ+ community.

Miranda Priestly will see you now.
It's hard to believe that Anne Hathaway stepped on the set of The Devil Wears Prada twenty years ago at just 22 years old. Two decades later, the actress is reprising her legendary role of Andy Sachs in the highly anticipated sequel that's already receiving rave reviews.

Feel as though you have a rageful scream perpetually caught in your throat? Wish you had somewhere to put those feelings of frustration and anger over the state of the world? Want some catharsis with a side of bloody revenge, but, you know, legally?
That’s where genre filmmaking becomes such a mental health lifeline, especially horror, and particularly films like Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. Like its predecessor, the film functions as both an adrenaline rush and a darkly hilarious eat-the-rich revenge fantasy, pitting a woman — or in this case two women — against a horde of elitist, sociopathic monsters and letting us watch her cut through them one by one.

Clear your schedules, folks — Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson’s sapphic horror film from writer-director Jane Schoenbrun is coming this fall. And today, we got our first look at the two of them onscreen — brace for sapphic swooning.
The film, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, focuses on Einbinder’s character, a young, enthusiastic director hell-bent on reviving a stagnant slasher series called Camp Miasma. Her plan? Track down the show’s original final girl — a “mysterious, reclusive star” played by Anderson. According to the synopsis, what follows is that “the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.”
