From Somalia, a family drama that ranks high among the gems of the festival.

Riz Ahmed, who co-wrote the screenplay, delivers a riveting performance in a movie with a lot on its mind.

During the pandemic lockdown, filmmakers from all over the world contributed to this anthology. Some of the results are heartening and surprising.

This tense, unnerving tale of an orphaned girl’s entrapment in a criminal family throbs with pain and danger under a tightly controlled surface.

Emma Dante’s intense, punishing film follows five, then four siblings from a fateful childhood day through a harsh old age.

Two stories are told separately in intersecting vignettes. They are, though, united in their protagonists’ objectives: both are attempting to move overseas.

For most of the drama, Anthony Hopkins is at his very best.

If the skeleton of the family drama sounds somewhat familiar, the refreshing specificity of character and situation makes it feel new and unexpected.

A heartfelt, straightforward, and familiar coming of ager that swept the awards at Sundance.
