Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
	Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)	Jeffrey Peterson	We’re quick to run to love, away from it, to spur it on, or move on from it. In no other film is this more clear than Michel Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. Posted Sep 01, 2023 Edit critic review
	Chi-Raq (2015)	Jeffrey Peterson	Viewers have criticized Spike’s film because of the director’s more recent turn away from commercial film, but I sense that he finds that the violent world around us cannot be ignored. Posted Sep 01, 2023 Edit critic review
	Dope (2015)	Jeffrey Peterson	As the characters of Dope meander their hometown of Inglewood, they have to grow up, and yes, they do have role models, but no one really wants to hear the teens’ truth, the justification for their choices. Posted Sep 01, 2023 Edit critic review
	Straight Outta Compton (2015)	Jeffrey Peterson	What musicians would America have oppressed if Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, MC Ren, and DJ Yella listened to the naysayers and followed those who said rap music, sampling, reality rap, all of it, was a waste of time and definitely illegal?

	Do I Sound Gay? (2014)	Jeffrey Peterson	David Thorpe asserts that the inflection in people’s voices is semiotics, a composition of many things, but two in particular: where they grew up and what that place sounds like, as well as who raised them and what they sound like.

	Her (2013)	Jeffrey Peterson	Computers, like the operating systems in Her, already invoke a never-ending, addictive relationship. I hate it but can’t turn away. Posted Sep 01, 2023 Edit critic review
4/5	Fruitvale Station (2013)	Jeffrey Peterson	Coogler’s Fruitvale Station is less about American violence and more about American vulnerability. Specifically, the lack thereof. Posted Sep 01, 2023 Edit critic review
