Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
