Post-film thoughts.
Urchin: We Don’t Win Every Battle, and That Makes Us Human
Amongst counselling, job assistance, staying clean, and meeting new people, Mike shows us a sympathetic exhibit of the uphill battle that is addiction in Urchin.
First Light: The Intersection of Faith, Power, and Government
Robinson rightfully earns the two hours of time and attention from audiences. The film is a slow, ponderous exploration of the real issues that go on in the country: corruption, mistreatment of the working class, and how the church plays into this.
Twinless: Death Is Irrevocable, You Can’t Take It Back
Twinless centres around surviving halves, Roman (Dylan O’Brien) and Dennis (James Sweeney), who meet at a twin bereavement support group and form an emotionally intimate bond through their shared trauma. The film takes us through a hyper-specific form of grieving: losing someone who not only looks exactly like you, but was also the person you were with since the beginning of your time on Earth.
