Raging Grace (2023) by Paris Zarcilla
There's quite a lot to like with “Raging Grace.” Among its brighter aspects is a solid central setup by writer/director Zarcilla that makes for a wholly engaging scenario. The first half explores quite heavily and naturally the desperation Joy feels at keeping her life in order, despite it all crumbling down around her. This ranges from the struggles of finding housing for her and Grace, facing racism and misogynistic abuse for the work she does, and the natural indignation of being a single mother. This gives the new job opportunity with Katharine such a sense of importance for Joy which she can use as a means of escaping this lifestyle only to end up stumbling upon a far more dangerous threat inside Katharine's house which gets uncovered slowly during her employment. This is handled incredibly well for a great start to things. (Don Anelli...

“As Long As We Both Shall Live” is part of a “wholesome” franchise, since it started as an online novel titled “My Happy Marriage”, then was published as a light novel series, then a manga, then it became the aforementioned movie and lastly, an anime series, which is still ongoing actually. Featuring a combination of romance, action and family drama, its premises are quite intriguing. Let us see how Ayuko Tsukahara fared in the movie adaptation.
