Denise Zubizarreta is a cultural critic, journalist, and arts writer for Latina Media Co, where she explores film and television through an intersectional Latina lens. Her work centers on representation, identity, and the power dynamics of storytelling in Hollywood and beyond.

Regretting You (2025) 29% B+ EDIT “Allison Williams brings a deeply satisfying energy to Morgan: the overly stressed, underappreciated, ignored adult who has finally reached her limit. It’s grown teen mom energy in its fully evolved form. Not bitter, not cruel – but done.” – LatinaMedia.Co Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% A- EDIT “Eternity understands something rare: love does not weaken because it changes. It changes because survival demands it.” – LatinaMedia.Co Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The Gallerist (2026) 56% C- EDIT “I couldn’t shake the feeling that 'The Gallerist' is performing rebellion while secretly terrified of offending the very system it wants to mock. Which is, in its own way, the film’s most accurate reflection of the art world.” – LatinaMedia.Co Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% A- EDIT “Mickey 17 doesn’t predict the future. It documents the present with just enough exaggeration to make denial impossible. In doing so, it joins the small but vital lineage of science fiction that understands its real subject is not technology, but power.” – LatinaMedia.Co Dec 30, 2025 Full Review ZombieCON Vol. 1 (2024) 86% A+ EDIT “ZombieCON Vol. 1 is A B-movie with an A+ heart, destined to live forever in the undead pantheon of con nerd favorites.” – LatinaMedia.Co Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Heads of State (2025) 68% C+ EDIT “Watching the leaders of the UK and US navigate coups, surveillance leaks, and rogue assassins might be entertaining – if it didn’t feel like a press conference away from becoming reality.” – LatinaMedia.Co Aug 11, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 52% B+ EDIT “HBO Max’s and A24’s Death of a Unicorn, a glittery, gory satire that sinks its horn straight into the rotten heart of capitalist greed.” – LatinaMedia.Co Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Your Monster (2024) 79% A- EDIT “Women aren’t just taught to suppress their anger, we’re also taught to fear our wants. And this movie plays with that beautifully. Her connection with the monster isn’t just about rage, it’s about passion.” – LatinaMedia.Co Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Salt of the Earth (1954) 100% A+ EDIT “Salt of the Earth embodies many ideals, and chief among them is this: reclaiming authorship over our stories asserts the meaning inherent in our own lives. More than ever, we need art told from our point of view. ” – LatinaMedia.Co Jul 29, 2025 Full Review I Was Octomom: The Natalie Suleman Story (2025) C+ EDIT “I Was Octomom finally gives Natalie what she was never allowed in 2009: context. Not excuses, but truth. It lets her speak for herself in a world that only wants to speak over her.” – LatinaMedia.Co Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Atlas (2024) 18% D+ EDIT “Atlas is predictable which can be seen as a good and a bad thing. I’m not going to rewatch it incessantly like some of my other favorite sci-fi flicks and you’re most likely not going to either.” – LatinaMedia.Co Jul 29, 2025 Full Review
