Superior remake which grounds the devastation by focusing on very small stories and moments of empathy.

The Punk Singer 2013
Oddly distant and cold biography which seems disengaged from its (seemingly) willing cause celebre. It is a fine introduction but leaves too much detail unshown - certainly copious material exists.

Industrial Accident: The Story of Wax Trax! Records 2017
Inciteful and illuminating queer documentary which exhibits uncommon depth of niche information and history. Truly a family affair, the heart poured into the production is evident.

Raw 2016
While it is possible that there is a decent film to be made concerning matrilineal cannibalistic veterinarian sisters this is certainly not it. The praise for RAW is baffling, there is hardly an image or thought presented worthy of applause. The film is instead packed with standard-issue faux-intellectual feints at privilege and sexuality, all amounting to and signifying nothing. This is a huge disappointment and missed opportunity; viewers would be much better off watching Cronenberg's RABID, Breillat's ANATOMY OF HELL or Denis' TROUBLE EVERY DAY - all films which better RAW's inept philosophy.
