On the big and small screen right now, several high-profile productions focus on differences. From physical disabilities to being accepted within a separate culture, there is a lot of difference going on in pop culture.

Scriptwriter Mark Hadley and film reviewer Ben McEachen have dedicated this week’s Big Picture reviews and lists to this trend of differences.
