Reviews
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
