Civil War 2024
Set in present-day dystopian America, a group of journalists travel from New York City to Washington during a civil war to interview and photograph the third term president. With little information about the war and zero back story on the characters, it’s essentially a film about getting from point A to point B with some life-and-death drama thrown in along the way. Kirsten Dunst gives a satisfactory performance as photographer Lee Smith but unfortunately most of those around her feel one dimensional. It’s good but could’ve been better. Unsettling, intense and perhaps foreboding?

Baby Reindeer 2024
The true story of writer, creator and lead actor Richard Gadd about the catalyst that led him to confront his past trauma. When bar tender Donny (Gadd) makes a cup of tea for a distraught customer, Martha (played superbly and chillingly by Jessica Gunning) she becomes obsessed with him - and so begins years of relentless stalking. But does Donny really want it to end? You’ll feel shocked, uncomfortable and infuriated and will question Donny’s destructive choices as his patterns repeat themselves. It’s a car crash you cannot look away from. Tough going but excellent.
