This review was published on Black Girl Nerds on December 29, 2017.

This article was originally published on Black Girl Nerds on February 13, 2018. This movie review was a follow up to the article I wrote about the problematic representation of the Indigenous Green-Eyed People.

My name and bio were once again published at the bottom so no one cannot argue with me about who wrote these articles. Please read the movie review on Black Girl Nerds.
