1.5/4	46%	The Kid (2019)	This relegation of female characters to the sidelines is depressing for a film released in 2019, especially because it seems entirely possible to have a film looking at masculinity without reducing women to archetypes. - RogerEbert.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 8, 2019
4/4	100%	King In The Wilderness (2018)	A quiet and understated film, which lingers lovingly on its subject. - RogerEbert.com EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 30, 2018
