Absolutely second this. Nia and Tessa are incredible, and I also recommend the first movie they did together, Little Woods. In my top 10 of movies in the last decade, and so fucking real about borders, the medical system, making ends meet, and the reality of giving birth today.
Hello, I’m Saeed and I’d like to recommend a great movie to watch.
“Hedda” starring Tessa Thompson, directed by Nia DiCosta.
If you love dangerous queer women, big parties and even bigger scandals, this adaption is for you.
You’re welcome.
(No, no, I wasn’t looking for feedback.)
