based on a graphic novel‚ which obviously meant a lot of sci-fi and comic-con scenes that are‚ to say the least‚ not my top pick. As the movie progressed‚ I found myself really enjoying it and being in awe at the comic adaptations and graphics in every scene.

Jamaica Kincaid’s novel “Lucy” is from the point of view of a girl who moves to America for a better life. The main characteristics that stuck out to me were how blunt and to the point she was while narrating‚ but when interacting with others‚ she felt out of place or did not care.
