    104. Val (2021) Film Review | A24 on the Rocks

    Val is a documentary about the Top Gun and Batman star, and late Hollywood heartthrob Val Kilmer. Many knew him from his blockbuster films, but didn't know the more personal aspects of his life, and his struggle with throat cancer. The A24 Rocks crew reviews this autobiographical documentary, and the host sparks some heated debate: was this a poignant autobiography or did it whitewash the more troublesome aspects of Val Kilmer's life?

    Black Swan (2010) Film Review | A24 on the Rocks

    On this week's A24 Vibe Discussion, the A24 Rocks crew goes back to the 2010 Darren Aronofsky film Black Swan. Natalie Portman won an Academy Award for her role as Nina in this psychological-horror movie about a ballerina who wins the prima ballerina role in the Tchaikovsky ballet Swan Lake. Nina is groomed and taken advantage of by her teacher Thomas (portrayed by Vincent Cassel), while she has hallucinations and anxieties, especially about a new ballerina named Lily (portrayed by Mila Kunis) who transferred from a different company. How has Black Swan aged 16 years later, and where does this land amongst the body horror films these film reviewers have reviewed? Caution: movie spoilers.

    Based on a 148 tweet thread (that is partially based on a true story), Zola is a film about a Detroit stripper named Zola (portrayed by Taylour Paige) who meets a woman named Stefani (portrayed by Riley Keough) and decides to take a road trip down to Florida to dance in a club down south.
