She Spoiled It

Review: Baden Baden

14/2/2020

This French-Belgian comedy drama is a gentle but poignant summer spent with Ana looking for work, looking for meaning and ill-advisedly renovating her grandmother’s bathroom. It’s funny and awkward but also hopeful.

This review contains major spoilers and discussion of the plot

A road movie with a greater purpose, this film shows the unintended consequences of an entirely unnecessary situation and the actions taken by a desperate person with limited choices.

But even with those limited choices, a lot of what they did made little sense.

Review: The Imposter

4/2/2020

This review contains trailer-level amounts of spoilers.
This is one of my favourite films because it's documentary structured like a thriller. A story that’s more scary and intriguing for the fact it is true. Look into the eyes of a mother who knowingly embraced a stranger as her long missing son.

Right from the start we know this man is not who he says he is. He looks straight into the camera to recounts his actions and is chillingly honest about his deeds.
