The Shadow of the Sun is a smaller film by Miguel Angel Ferrer about two brothers who use their voices in different ways to break free of the struggles they’re facing in their Venezuelan town. Leo is a man facing financial troubles and abandoned passions. His younger brother, Alex, is a deaf young man who has a gift for songwriting but often gets bullied because of his disability. Alex convinces Leo to perform a song he wrote and enter a local competition with a large cash prize that would change their lives. We discuss Ferrer’s inspirations, the importance of inclusion in film, and the various symbolism and themes reflected here. It was also announced that Ferrer’s new horror film is in production which was a surprising bit of news! The Shadow of the Sun is available to stream on Apple, Amazon, Fandango, and Google on August 4.</p><p><br></p><p>We briefly touched on The Invite last week, but Ailish hadn’t watched it yet, so we’re giving it a full review here. This film was fresh-feeling and had us laughing out loud and getting deep in our feels. Norton, Cruz, Wilde, and Rogan have amazing chemistry and are feeding off each other the entire time. While this film was portrayed as a sexually charged comedy, there is much more revealed as the plot develops. Compared to Wilde’s last directorial venture, Don’t Worry Darling, this is miles ahead. There were a few things of note, but overall, they are small critiques and this is definitely something to catch before it leaves theaters.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>If you love us, leave us comments on social media and YouTube, or write a review with your 5-star rating.
