I was really disappointed when Sorry, Baby wasn’t recognized at the Academy Awards, especially because everyone was talking about Eva Victor and her chances – Julia Roberts even mentioned her at the Golden Globes, which was a highlight for me. Interestingly, I seemed more surprised and pleased by F1‘s Best Picture nomination than a lot of other people in the film industry.

Jessica Jones played a central role in the team-up series The Defenders on Netflix, which brought together the storylines from Iron Fist, Luke Cage, The Punisher, and the first Daredevil series.

The film opens on a small family farm where Shaban and his wife, Hatixhe, make a living by selling milk and dairy products from their cows. They live with Shaban’s mother and brother, Agim, a teacher – a large, seemingly cheerful family who share meals together. The family dynamic shifts when their youngest brother, Liridon, asks for 1800 Euros to move to Germany for work, but is largely dismissed due to a history of unreliability. After an argument, Liridon vanishes, along with the family’s cows. Now without income, Shaban, Hatixhe, Shaban’s mother, and their three children relocate to Pristina, where Hatixhe’s brother-in-law, Alban, owns a nightclub and provides them with temporary housing and odd jobs. Struggling to make ends meet, Shaban begins taking on any available day labor work, finding jobs with groups of workers on the street.

The theater wasn’t very full last night – maybe 40 percent. The audience seemed to be split between supporters of Donald Trump and those who came to criticize the film. This wasn’t unexpected. Melania, the documentary, follows its subject for the 20 days before the 2025 inauguration. It’s not a loud, aggressive pro-Trump film, though it does take a few jabs at the Biden administration with unflattering images of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Instead, it subtly aims to present Melania Trump as a glamorous celebrity. It feels like many other popular celebrity documentaries – like the ones about the Beckhams, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, or Arnold Schwarzenegger – which often function more as promotional material than genuine films. The movie tries to establish Melania as someone so fascinating that viewers will sit through a surprisingly dull and repetitive story of her travels between cars, planes, and meetings.
