In Nana Mensah’s winning and heartfelt debut film, you can go home again; part of you never left.

A beautifully shot coming-of-age story set on the Croatian coast that makes some sharp observations about the perennial tensions within a family.

Director Nathalie Álvarez Mesén has set herself an imposing task with her debut film: conveying the complexity of her title character without resorting to histrionics or melodrama.

Director Charlotte Wells has struck gold with her young discovery, Frankie Corio, who delivered one of the best and most lived-in performances in the festival’s entire lineup.

An immersion into an almost hermetically sealed world that is so detailed and uncomfortable that parts of it feel like a documentary.

Andrea Riseborough, who is practically a regular at SXSW, has arguably never been better.

A sweet-natured, dryly funny comedy that is not afraid to address the complex emotions that inform its humor.

An unflinching, immersive look at childhood bullying that plunges us deep into a child’s agitated POV.

For moviegoers searching for a thoughtful and suspenseful work outside of the North American and Western European bubble, this is a must-see.
