Our rating: 4/5
Short review: From the script, to the cast, to the detail in every scene – ‘n Man Soos My Pa flawlessly tugs at the heartstrings
Movie: No Escape
Our rating: 3/5
Short review: A mediocre action film tinged with xenophobic tendencies, No Escape is saved from the 2-star pile for it’s emotional depth.
Movie: Maggie
Our rating: 2/5
