The Founders is an incredibly enlightening documentary on a subject that is not talked about enough. Retracing the history of the LPGA Tour, the film's main focus is on the 13 original members. Through archival footage and interviews with the surviving founders, the filmmakers paint detailed and moving portraits of each of the 13 women. They're individual accomplishments are impressive, but what they accomplished together is truly amazing. I did not know much about the LPGA before seeing this film, let alone how essential it was to the start of all professional women's sports. A great moment that exemplifies this is an interview with Althea Gibson, the first African American member of the tour, where she explains how all the other women refused to play courses that wouldn't allow her to play. If you are looking to learn about something you probably don't know much about or just a moving film about determination and female empowerment, I highly recommend this film.

From the great cinematography and tracking shots, to the amazing use of color and lighting, to the writing Imperfections is a great drama with some comedy and romance giving it something everyone will love. Imperfections is set in the city of Chicago that follows a struggling actress named Cassidy. Similar to the feel of the TV show Shameless, in order of her to continue to follow her dreams she comes across a business deal that isn't quiet legal. In making the decision to go along with this deal, she has to grown up and makes hard decisions that affect people other than her, including the ones she loves. This film captures the defining moment is a struggling millennials life that resonates with the current problems that millennials are facing. Besides the great cinematography, lighting, and music used throughout the film, Imperfections managed to attain a great and well-rounded cast. It has actors such as Zach McGowan who is well known from his work in The 100, Shameless, Black Sails, and Agents of SHIELD, Ed Begley Jr from Veronica Mars, Virginia Kull from Broadwalk Empire and HBO's Big Little Lies, and Marilu Henner from Taxi and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. This 'dramady ' with a touch of romance is all-around a great movie that I recommend to anyone looking for a good drama that makes you laugh.
