In My Opinion

The Concordian opinions newsletter

Hello Concordians,

I’m Joelle, your Opinions Editor for Volume 40 of The Concordian. I’m in my last year at Concordia and readier than ever to tackle these last semesters. 

A little about me: I’m a journalism major, with two minors (law and society and women’s studies) because I can’t stick to just one subject. My interests include travel, fashion, books, and the only sport I watch is Formula One. You can find me around campus hanging out at Loyola in the journalism newsroom or The Concordian’s office, and in the library at Sir George Williams.

Hot Take

Welcome to Hot Take: a place for thoughts I had while watching the latest, hottest movie or series.

This week’s hot take: Run (2020)

This movie is the story of mother Diane who we see at the beginning of the movie give birth to a premature baby, Chloe. The screen is then covered with different medical conditions, implying these are conditions Chloe sustained from being born too early. We then skip to a teenage Chloe who uses a wheelchair, takes several medications and is home-schooled. One day, Chloe gets suspicious of her mom who is giving her new medication that she thought was for her. The suspicion grows into Chloe trying to untangle a whole web of lies about her life. Originally released to Hulu in 2020, the psychological thriller is now available to watch on Netflix.
