This week, we feature one of the best films ever made about the Holocaust and a classic about a downtrodden elderly couple.

New Release

‘The Wild Robot’

Following a shipwreck, self-aware robot Roz (Lupita Nyong'o) finds itself stranded on a desolate island. It eventually builds unexpected relationships with the island’s creatures and takes on the responsibility of raising an orphaned gosling.

Inspired by Peter Brown’s children’s book, this movie combines wit and creativity—aiming to be a thrilling adventure. However, the film humanizes the robot, a morally murky film trend that obscures AI’s potential to replace humans in many ways.
