A Quarantine Movie for Every Mood: Refinery 29
We live in scary times. Across the United States, infection rates are soaring, though more and more people are getting vaccinated (yay!). Canada's borders remain closed, and non-citizens barred from entry. Europe is going back into lockdown. In that context, the very idea of being bored, let alone debating which of the millions of movies or TV shows currently streaming, may come off as naively trivial, a luxury that we might all look back on with disbelief. Who cares about entertainment when thousands are suffering? And yet, movies provide a respite, a window into a better time to come, or a challenge we've overcome. They're an escape, and a way to confront the worst. They provide a sense of possibility, and a window onto a world that's become elusive.
