#DailyStream: the West Bank we don’t see on the news. Oscar-nominated 2012 doc #5BrokenCameras is a distressing portrait of everyday Palestinian life, where kids’ birthday parties are the same sort of ordinary events as Israeli soldiers arresting children. #Kanopy US, #BFIPlayer UK
#DailyStream: desperate women, desperate measures. Courtney Hunt’s 2008 film #FrozenRiver, with an incredible Melissa Leo, straddles moralities, gender motivations, and ideas of poverty and despair in such a way that you’re not sure, by the end, what’s “right” and what isn’t. #Hulu US, #BFIPlayer UK
#DailyStream: finding necessary purpose in elderhood. Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberdi’s Oscar-nom'd doc #TheMoleAgent -- about a man who goes undercover in a nursing home to suss out possible abuse -- is an unusual combination of clever and touching. #Hulu #Kanopy US, #BFIPlayer #DogwoofOnDemand UK
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: meta horror about how scary movies infect us. 2021's ambiguous, introspective #Censor examines on multiple levels how we digest horror movies, and how they linger with us. #Kanopy #Hulu US, #BFIPlayer #CurzonHomeCinema UK

Untamed true story: Rodrigo Sorogoyen's THE BEASTS ( As Bestas, 2022) gives a real-life saga of simmering masculine violence a feminine tailspin. Now on #BFIPlayer. Full review for #LittleWhiteLies https://lwlies.com/reviews/the-beasts/
"Its whole outlook on human desire is jaded and cynical, and yet the tone is breezily charming throughout. Here, love is bittersweet all round."
