5/5
The Starling Girl (2023) Nuha Hassan The Starling Girl is a coming-of-age movie that doesn’t explore the teenager’s journey of adolescence; instead, it is a disturbing portrait of women who have internalised misogyny and the many ways in which women are conditioned to behave a certain way.

4/5
Surge (2020) Nuha Hassan ‘Surge’ is honest, and just like its title, the movie rushes and pours the emotions of a man that wants to be set free of the mundane world that he lives in into the mental and physical uneasiness of his perspective.

3/5
Ave Maryam (2018) Nuha Hassan Even if the performances and cinematography help to assist the lack of dialogue, it is a crucial part of storytelling that fails to convey the ideas that the Ave Maryam attempts to explore.

2/5
The Nightingale (2018) Shaun Alexander "An unflinchingly violent film that is not able to tackle its politics about gender, race and violence in a nuanced way. Brutal from beginning to end but never left satisfyingly avenged."

If It Were Love (2020) Emily Maskell The value of human touch is a craving more visceral, having been deprived of it. Both Crowd and, subsequently, If It Were Love are wonderfully bold in their approaches to the nuance of vulnerable human connection.

Tucked (2018) Emily Maskell Tucked nestles itself within the category of LGBTQ+ cinema as an overall optimistic film. Endearing humour is an essential element that prevents the film falling into a thematically dark space.
