The Film Maven Diary for February 2024

The month of love reflected in what I watched and read

You’re probably asking, “Why is this paywalled?” Paid subscribers are the backbone of The Film Maven and becoming one shows support for independent journalism, as well as female- and disabled-created content. It also allows me to write really fun articles. And becoming a paid subscriber gives you access to The Trade, my examination and exploration of topics in the entertainment industry, my Popcorn Disability articles on disabled representation in film, and more. So consider becoming a paid subscriber today!

Writing a book on a time deadline never feels as daunting as when you’re doing it in February. The shortest month of the year wasn’t packed with a ton, but I’m surprised by how much I watched and read. Yes, read. To keep the recommendations flowing I’m gonna be adding in the books I’ve been reading too because, dammit, people need to read more. So, putting February to bed with a layout of everything I loved, and everything else, I consumed over the last month 28 days.
