Sirât delivers one of the most distinctive cinematic experiences I’ve had in quite some time.

Overall, Crime 101 is a welcome surprise, and a must watch for fans of thoughtful, entertaining and intelligent crime-thrillers.

With all of the nuance of the story removed, all we are left with is a toxic romance between two hot Australian actors. It’s Bridgerton with world-class cinematography and a funky soundtrack by Charli XCX.

In an era of horror films that strain for prestige, Send Help feels refreshingly unconcerned with respectability. It is messy, funny, cruel, and wholly entertaining.

With its community-focused theme and beautiful village visuals, The Golden Spurtle documentary makes this legacy proud. 

Urchin isn’t concerned with a film-like “happy” conclusion to its character’s problems; it lets you marinate in the idea that things might not actually get better - and that was refreshing.
