His House (2020) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Weekes had already made a name for himself at industry level, but His House introduces his talent to a wider audience with assured composure.” – The Digital Fix Oct 30, 2020 Full Review African Apocalypse (2020) 91% 8/10 EDIT “Despite the horrific nature of the stories being told it should never be forgotten that this is a tiny part of the atrocities carried out by colonialists.” – The Digital Fix Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Eyimofe (This is My Desire) (2020) 100% 6/10 EDIT “There are millions of stories waiting to be told in Lagos alone and the it's high time they are afforded the opportunity to be heard on a grander stage.” – The Digital Fix Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Being a Human Person (2020) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Real or not, given the stage of his career, Being a Human Person still manages to reflect on the difficulties of transitioning from a life of creativity into one more docile.” – The Digital Fix Oct 19, 2020 Full Review One Man and His Shoes (2020) 80% 7/10 EDIT “In only 90 minutes Bamiro makes his points with real clarity, pinpointing the good and bad of Jordan's sneaker empire.” – The Digital Fix Oct 19, 2020 Full Review The Salt in Our Waters (2020) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Sumit's strength at this stage of his career clearly lies in exhibiting the details of people's lives and their everyday existence.” – The Digital Fix Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Time (2020) 98% 10/10 EDIT “Bradley develops a level of emotional investment in 80 minutes that many films twice the length struggle to achieve, and like her subjects utilises every moment of time to make it count.” – The Digital Fix Oct 9, 2020 Full Review The Forty-Year-Old Version (2020) 99% 7/10 EDIT “A little long and baggy in places, but Radha is a star in the making and it will be interesting to see where she goes next.” – The Digital Fix Oct 9, 2020 Full Review Herb Alpert Is... (2020) 81% 7/10 EDIT “Profiling an artist like Herb Alpert doesn't require the reinvention of the documentary wheel and Scheinfeld moves through his career in traditional form.” – The Digital Fix Oct 9, 2020 Full Review The Wanting Mare (2020) 80% 6/10 EDIT “Although there isn't enough meat on the bone to capitalise on the eye-catching digital world-building, it does feel like the work of a director who is only just getting started.” – The Digital Fix Sep 25, 2020 Full Review White Riot (2019) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Shah documents an important part of modern British history and lessons that are now in danger of being forgotten at our peril.” – The Digital Fix Sep 18, 2020 Full Review The Nest (2020) 90% 7/10 EDIT “While Durkin's name may not resonate immediately given the length of time between his two releases, The Nest demonstrates he has lost none of his filmmaking prowess.” – The Digital Fix Sep 18, 2020 Full Review Real (2019) 100% 6/10 EDIT “While the story being told isn't done effectively enough to leave a lasting mark post-credits, nonetheless, there's no denying it has a heartfelt earnestness that shines through.” – The Digital Fix Sep 18, 2020 Full Review Mr. Soul! (2018) 96% 8/10 EDIT “Mr. SOUL! recalls a remarkable show that has sadly been forgotten in the sands of time.” – The Digital Fix Sep 3, 2020 Full Review The Garden Left Behind (2019) 91% 4/10 EDIT “The Garden Left Behind seems to want it both ways and succeeds in achieving neither, in-turn compromising its own message.” – The Digital Fix Sep 3, 2020 Full Review I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020) 82% 8/10 EDIT “The inner-scream, almost nihilistic, ruminations will resonate in the most uncomfortable way possible.” – The Digital Fix Sep 3, 2020 Full Review Bad Education (2019) 94% 7/10 EDIT “Finley employs a similar sense of verve and style seen in his debut, keeping a tight rein on camera movement and embellishing the visuals with small flourishes that ingratiate us into the increasingly icky interior of these people's lives.” – The Digital Fix Jul 11, 2020 Full Review Relic (2020) 92% 9/10 EDIT “Rarely will you see such an intimate and personal culmination to genre storytelling as the one crafted by James in her debut.” – The Digital Fix Jul 10, 2020 Full Review Palm Springs (2020) 95% 6/10 EDIT “A nice twist to the time loop comedy that has some good gags, but underdeveloped writing leaves the two leads unable to find that all-important connection to click things into place.” – The Digital Fix Jul 10, 2020 Full Review The Hard Stop (2015) 100% 10/10 EDIT “George Amponsah's film highlights the abuse and racism suffered by the Black community at the hands of the police for the past seven decades.” – The Digital Fix Jun 29, 2020 Full Review On the Record (2020) 99% 9/10 EDIT “A documentary that unpacks a lot in only 90 minutes, with the sad reality that this is only the tip of the iceberg both inside and outside of the music industry.” – The Digital Fix Jun 29, 2020 Full Review The Ground Beneath My Feet (2019) 90% 6/10 EDIT “You can see many of the ingredients are there to transform it into something more memorable, yet it never quite comes together.” – The Digital Fix Jun 29, 2020 Full Review 10/10 EDIT “You can only watch in admiration at the drive and energy reserves they possess in the face of such blatant racism and neglect, their desire to uncover the truth stronger than the arrogance being offered in return.” – The Digital Fix Jun 29, 2020 Full Review Lucky Grandma (2019) 95% 5/10 EDIT “Mixing themes of old age, family support, independence, loneliness and more into a pot already more than half full with a crime caper doesn't allow room for much of it to breathe.” – The Digital Fix Jun 29, 2020 Full Review Babyteeth (2019) 94% 8/10 EDIT “A beautifully human drama that will fill your mouth with laughter and swamp your eyes with tears.” – The Digital Fix Jun 29, 2020 Full Review
