Heartbreak High (2022)
The best representation of autism onscreen that I've ever seen.
Finally, autistic actors are being casted to play autistic characters. This series was the first time I've ever seen myself authentically represented on-screen, the first time I've seen myself shown as anything other than a punchline or a cause for pity. I hope this is the start of change for representation of autistic people in media.
As an Australian teenager, a lot of the media I come across is heavily Americanized and not at all relatable, so this was definitely a welcome change. This is an incredibly candid and funny look into what modern adolescence in Australia is really like, and I'm looking forward to seeing more.
Amsterdam (2022)
Absolute cinematic genius.
An absolutely brilliant cast, combined with an interesting conspiracy plotline that unfolds and gets more complex throughout the film. I loved the use of Burt as an offscreen narrator, it felt like a breath of fresh air in contrast with the very literal, direct delivery of most films I've seen recently coming out in cinemas. The storytelling was a little hard to follow in places, but it was well worth it to see everything come together in the end. Full of absolutely brilliant and surprising plot twists. I would absolutely recommend this film, especially seeing as it was based in part on true events.
