“The Electrical Life of Louis Wain”
When stripped of its manufactured whimsy, this is just another conventional biopic.
“The Other Tom”
There’s no easy answer to the problem of overmedicating children, but the film raises important questions on both sides and should get audiences talking.
“I’m Your Man”
Explores the repercussions of manufactured happiness and the realities of having a dream partner built to your exact specifications.
“Compartment No. 6”
Has a timeless feel in both story and tone, and the finished product is simple, eloquent, and to the point.
“Scarborough”
Heartbreaking, hopeful, and a vital companion for understanding what it’s like to live as an underprivileged person in an increasingly hostile world.
