Brief History of a Family 2024
A slowburn thriller of a film, beautifully shot and scored. Carefully placed symbolism throughout the film helped to build the tension (and perhaps foretell a narrative?), without ever giving away the direction that the film moved in.

The Summer with Carmen 2023
A joyous, compelling meta-film. Hugely entertaining and, at appropriate moments, surprisingly touching.

The Seed of the Sacred Fig 2024
Sensational, gripping film.
It captures the extreme institutional paranoia and brutality of the Iranian state as well as the way it draws people in. A moving, thrilling family drama playing in amongst the sociopolitical context.
The incorporation of real footage of the protests in Iran was excellent and only heightened the emotional punch of the whole thing.
