    ★★★★½

    A devastating and heartwrenching miniseries.

    Philip Barantini and Stephen Graham return to deliver a powerful piece of television that raises many tough questions. Exploring how a young boy's environment can mold them into something terrifying. We follow the boy, his family and the police and are given mutiple persepctives of this tragedy. This isn't a mystery about who committed a crime; rather a question as to why he did it.

    The cinematography is an incredible feat as it consists of…

Only for the rug to be pulled right from under us and thrown into a confusing and harrowing situation alongside them.

    The cinematography is a little conventional at times but does a great job…

    A disgustingly visceral and razor-sharp satire on our obsession with body-image.

    Coralie Fargeat's sophomore feature absolutely knocks it out of the park. With influences from Kubrick, Cronenberg and Carpenter; she delivers a fantastically grotesque body horror. All whilst exploring the disturbing reality of how the entertainment industry (particularly men) cause irreparable damage to women's bodies and society's perception on beauty.

    The cinematography is both inventive and disorienting. Uncomfortable close ups, long wide shots and tense handheld movement…
