The 6 Best Things I Watched and Read in August
The Film Maven has hit the road and left Substack behind (though I'll continue to cross post until the end of the year). Welcome to TheFilmMaven.com hosted by Ghost!
This means that The Film Maven is 100% independent and even more reliant on subscribers, both paid and free, for support. 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. 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!
August is over and I am not at all reminded that I have to finish writing a whole book by Halloween night. (Me nervously sweating!) But, thankfully, movies and books have continued to provide a sanctuary for me and while I didn't get a ton of top choices this month--I am spending my time writing a book on the weekends--it's about quality, not quantity. Below you'll find the six movies and books I absolutely fell in love with last month. Be sure to drop you new discoveries in the comments below.
