  • The Flat
    Review preview for The Flat

    This story of friendship between a Jewish couple and the tabloid journalist who rose to the top of Hitler's propaganda ministry has implications that echo down the generations, at once shocking and mundane.

  • War Witch
    Review preview for War Witch

    This is no chest-beating, flag-waving war movie, no propaganda for conflicts past, present or future, War Witch is the story of childhood destroyed, a country in flames and of how we survive the worst of what (in)humanity throws at us.
