jona i Interesting collection. The heartbreak of "Life Overtakes Me" and the remarkability of "Learning to Skateboard" are real standouts! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member At the moment I have seen "The neighbor's window", which can be summarize in "The garden of neighbour is alwys greener" or "When you look at the abyss, you take the risk of the abyss giving the sight back".

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a pretty good crop of films this year... "A Sister" is about a woman who calls 911 from a car and pretends to be calling her sister so her rapist wont know who she is talking to and follows the operator attempting to help her. Fairly short but packed with alot of tension, helped along by the camerawork in the car is focused on the woman with only glimpses of what is around her. "Brotherhood" is about a young man who has returned to his parents house in Tunisia after having fought with ISIS in Syria. He has brought a young wife and the tension between him and his father is intense... Another film with tight cinematography and good work from the cast. "The Neighbor's Window" starts out like it's gonna be a comedy but becomes something more. A middle aged couple with young kids becomes fascinated with watching the exhibitionist twentysomethings that live in the apartment across the street... until they discover something that changes the narrative. "Saria" is the bleakest film.. it is about teenage girls in an orphanage in Guatemala and the horrible conditions and abuse they encounter there.. they try to escape but are caught and the ending is crushing. "Nefta Football Club" is the lightest film, an amusing tale about two boys in Tunisia (a popular locale this year) who come across a mule packed with drugs and what they do with it. That one was fun, and its good that it was included at the end of the set. These were all good films and this set is worth a watch.
