#AnnaKendrick delivers probably the best performance of her career in #AliceDarling which looks to be the typical "gross, abusive man you REALLY need to kill" fare but with several exceptions that make it worth seeing.
It's the directorial debut of Mary Nighy (daughter of Bill), Wunmi Mosaku is in it which an autowin and epic First Nation actress and activist Kaniehtiio Horn (read about the Oka Crisis) who I loved in Hemlock Grove.

@thewebrecluse the Oka crisis is a just one of the gigantic stains on what we call Canada's history. It's not really solved. The Pines are basically always under threat and it makes me puke. It's all "nation to nation" until it's inconvenient.
@thewebrecluse and, as I said, it's just one. Really a stop along the highway of our continued attempts at genocide and erasure.
@Camerondotca There's too many to catalogue in the U.S. and elsewhere too. All we can do is be aware at this point ... know the proper history.
If you want to know more about Waneek Horn and what she survived, there are a lot of articles on her and the Oka Crisis. Here are just a few below:
