Lizzo being called out on using an ableist slur in her song, taking accountability and rerecording it to remove the slur? Not centering herself and playing the victim in her apology? Love to see it, Sia could never
Anyway I love Lizzo

Silver and the Book of Dreams
[3 stars]
Creating a new story from well tread ground is never easy. But Helena Hufnagel and Sina Flammang still manage to put their own spin on the dreams-as-reality genre (adapted from Kerstin Gier’s novel). This isn’t a Freddy Kruger story, it’s the story of a group of teens trying to find their way in the world and how far they’re willing to go to get to their goals.
But in trying to skip past the drudge of the pretty well understood setup, Hufnagel compacts the action and reduces the reactions to speed things along. Some of this works quite well. Teens are great at just accepting the world at face value and responding to it without questioning the foundation. But some of the logic leaps, and certainly some of the acceptance of disaster and danger, are just too easy. It makes for a breezier movie, but it lessens the credibility and feel of the stakes.
Jana McKinnon is a solid lead with some great screen presence. She takes control of her situation almost immediately and helps drive it through to the end. There are a number of up and coming faces around her as well, Chaneil Kular and Rhys Mannion primarily. But the script limits the impact of anyone’s performance. There is little opportunity for nuance or depth. The story bolts out of the gate quickly and just keeps driving forward. Again, great for a distraction, but not exactly a great flick. But it is reasonable entertainment for an evening if you like teen horror movies. Silver also makes for an interesting calling card for the creatives and what they may come up with next.
