A Voice to Reckon With can be a lot of different things and probably means different things to different readers. In July 2020, the new picks are limited to streaming platforms, theaters are basically shuttered and all might seem lost. Actors, Writers, Directors, Anniversaries of old movie releases, these are the things we hold onto right now and attach our hope to going forward. It might be the shift to female-directed action movies, Lonely Island Classics becoming a new sub-genre/production company to reckon with, reminders of when Nolan movies did just appear as scheduled, that gives us hope. A Voice to Reckon With looks out into the cinematic world to find the voices that give us hope. Do we always love every movie? No. We see the importance and potential down the road or in another piece of work that's already been produced (We will fight anyone that slanders Love and Basketball and does not include it as a top sports movie or romance). See. I didn't love The Old Guard but have a mild passion for Love and Basketball. We spotlight the change, the vision, the 'okay, there's something here that is really good' and share it with the world, because these individuals and teams are doing the same.
