It is a credit to Graafmans as a director that the film does not become hopelessly depressing to watch.
(Country: Netherlands; Year: 2016; Director: Anne-Marieke Graafmans)
The director talks about a "sense of play" in the press notes but are the audience really playing if they don't know the rules ahead of time?

(Country: Netherlands; Year: 2017; Director: Ariadne Asimakopoulos, Maartje Wegdam; Writer: Ariadne Asimakopoulos, Maartje Wegdam)
(Country: Canada; Year: 2016; Director: Joey Klein; Writer: Joey Klein; Stars: Tatiana Maslany, Tom Cullen, Henry Czerny, Mark Rendall, Suzanne Clément)
The film wears its story lightly. Even when Simón is dealing with heavier themes her focus is on Frida and her emotions.
(Country: Spain; Year: 2017; Director: Carla Simón; Writer: Carla Simón; Stars: Laia Artigas, Paula Blanco, Etna Campillo, Bruna Cusí, Jordi Figueras, Dolores Fortis, Titón Frauca, Cristina Matas, Berta Pipó, Quimet Pla, Fermí Reixach, Paula Robles, Isabel Rocatti, Montse Sanz, Tere Solà)
