  • Ba (2024)
    Review preview for Ba

    It’s not a particularly sophisticated parable, but it doesn’t need to be. The central performances are strong and the bond between father and daughter feels real even when other elements do not.

    Jennie Kermode · 3 out of 5
    A single father is deceived into a treacherous career as the Grim Reaper, while his precocious daughter grows increasingly suspicious of his whereabouts.
  • Falling Down (1993)
    Review preview for Falling Down

    This is low-key, nervous, twisted stuff, hinting at anger so deeply ingrained it can only erupt in tight, controlled spurts of rage.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4.5 out of 5
    One hot day in LA a white collar worker goes berserk in the ravaged ruins of South Central.
