THE MOVIES IS GREAT I like the community Queer love happens in the most unexpected places. In Polarized, it unfolds on a newly established 'vertical farm'. It's owned by Dalia and her extended family, who have left Palestine to set up a new life in this small community. Lisa is employed by them. A heated encounter between the two women at work exposes the stereotypically racist views Lisa holds towards Dalia. In response, Dalia fires her. That could have been the end of their story. However, the two start to build a connection on the back of these rocky beginnings. Acclaimed filmmaker Shamim Sarif's I Can't Think Straight fifth feature is visually arresting and unfolds beautifully as it contrasts two lives lived in vastly different worlds.
