- **6.5/10** — [The Most Beautiful Lie in Technicolor](https://cinepixo.com/reviews/the-most-beautiful-lie-in-technicolor) by Amara Osei, 2026-08-03
  > Gone with the Wind is a stupendous piece of image-making in the service of a historical fiction it never stops flattering, and both halves of that sentence have to be held at once.
