Metal Lords - Review

Two friends decide to form a metal band for The battle of the bands, organized at their school. But they have a problem: they don’t have a bass player. The solution? A quiet, shy girl with some psychological issues who plays the cello. Unexpected?

Yes, a few details make this movie a bit unexpected.

To grow up is hard

This film is about the journey we all need to face to grow up. In this case, they are growing up with music.

Some details make the movie different from others in the genre. But it still focuses on what most teenage movies do: the path of learning how to deal with your own feelings and frustrations.

To grow as a person, you must earn your own mistakes, which sometimes hurt.

Us against the world

Our protagonists are not popular. They don’t have many friends, and honestly, they aren’t that brilliant in music either. At least when the movie begins.

They are the outcasts, and they want to shine and win. We all liked to have our moment to shine in high school, so it is easy to relate with these characters even if you hate metal.

Superficial and shallow?

I saw some critics accusing Metal Lords of being superficial and shallow. People thought that because of the way they portrayed mental health and bullying. You can see they're there, but it is not truly explored in the story.

Well, I can see where these critics came from, but I tend to disagree. Indeed, they do not focus on them, making them sound like superficial issues, but I think the movie had other goals. It is not all about our issues; it is about winning, despite the issues.

Simple and sweet

Metal Lords is a story that focuses on those difficult years of growth that is adolescence. It is a simple sweet story, and I liked watching it.

Review: Billie Eilish: Unfiltered – A Shallow, Soulless Recap Pretending to Be a Documentary

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) If you're expecting Billie Eilish: Unfiltered to offer an intimate look into the life, artistry, or creative process of one of Gen Z’s most influential pop icons, prepare to be disappointed. This so-called documentary barely scratches the surface, delivering little more than a dry, lifeless rundown of Billie Eilish 's discography, awards, and chart performances. At best, it's a glorified Wikipedia entry with background music. At worst, it’s a wasted hour of potential. Unfiltered? The documentary lacks narrative depth, personal insight, or any meaningful exploration of who Billie Eilish is beyond her resume. Rather than providing behind-the-scenes footage, raw interviews, or critical commentary, Unfiltered relies on a monotonous narrator reeling off her achievements like items on a grocery list. There are occasional quotes from Billie herself, but they’re so brief and context-free they feel like filler material. For a documentary claiming to be “u...

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...
