My roommate got this out from the library. It's a soothing documentary about street cats in Istanbul and the people who love and care for them. It doesn't get into any of the outdoor cat discourse. Lots of lovely photography of the sea and Istanbul's city scapes. Recommended.
content notes: some discussion of cats getting injured and dying.
A New York Christmas Wedding - Netflix - 2020
A somewhat cheesy, heartfelt queer romance film involving the trope of an alternate timeline (think "It's a Wonderful Life" but where you see a better reality instead of a worse one).
Jennifer Ortiz is engaged to a rich man, and is dealing with his overbearing mother. When out on a run, she encounters an angel who transports her to an alternate reality, one where her best friend from high school, Gabrielle, is not only still alive, but is engaged to Jennifer. Jennifer has 2 days to experience this relationship, at which point she must make a decision.
A very sweet film, and I liked Jennifer and Gabrielle a lot.
Content notes: Catholicism; mention of a miscarriage; death of parents; a dog is euthanized towards the beginning of the film (Jennifer is working at a vet's office).
