Brian Fogel’s latest documentary is a fantastic and vital piece of journalism, albeit one whose potency is dulled slightly by questionable presentation decisions.

Slalom

Charlène Favier’s debut feature is a perpetually unsettling and solidly-crafted abuse drama with a great central performance.

beabadoobee – Fake It Flowers
