Timestalker

Part: Narrative Highlight
Director: Alice Lowe

Deadline’s takeaway: The formidable movie remembers basic Monty Python — it’s usually very, very silly and the identical time very, very intelligent — however most of all, it’s an concept of what may need been if that all-male group had ever had a lady or two in its core lineup. By some means, Alice Lowe has the wide-eyed innocence to hold all of it off, a really subversive reward certainly.

We Have been Harmful

Deadline’s takeaway: We Have been Harmful by no means fairly comes collectively because the wry, subversive coming-of-age film that it may need been, however the performances are highly effective sufficient in Josephine Stewart-Te Whiu’s debut that its emotional heft is surprisingly indelible.
