Plan 75
Maturity and an optimistic offer of a more humane solution prevent PLAN 75 from being unbearably bleak. By showing something so terrible, the film is really showing what it so dearly values.

The Artifice Girl
Intelligent filmmaking with soul ought to be treasured when it comes along, and THE ARTIFICE GIRL is just that. What could be inaccessible due to its scientific subject matter or off-putting over the fervour AI discourse provokes is anything but.
Saint Omer
It takes a deft hand to communicate empathy in the story of a mother who has killed her 15-month-old baby, but director Alice Diop handles this courtroom drama with grace, even if the genre tag feels reductive here.
France
Held together by Seydoux’s graceful and subtle performance, Bruno Dumont’s FRANCE slips between France’s confidence and doubt, often within the same scene, letting these conflicts linger.
Keyboard Fantasies: The Beverly Glenn-Copeland Story
Posy Dixon’s portrait is one of a kind soul, blessed with a talent that seems both refined and spiritual. It’s an honour to spend time with him. Scott Wilson reviews.
I Am Greta
Not only is I AM GRETA reason to care about the climate crisis, but also the need for accountability. Scott Wilson reviews.
Once Again
A film for dreamers who believe everything will fall into place, and who have heard their hearts broken because falling into place at the right time takes more than dreaming. Scott Wilson reviews.
Kajillionaire
For some, the film’s stylistic choices will be insurmountable. But stick with it, and KAJILLIONAIRE has a big, nurturing heart; one that invites us to laugh about the messiness of families.
Perfumes
With something to say about our relationship with our abilities, there’s more to PERFUMES than meets the, well, nose. Scott Wilson reviews.
Spaceship Earth
Director Matt Wolf’s documentary about the ill-fated Biosphere 2 project. Scott Wilson reviews.
