No crime is ethical, but there is an argument to be made that one committed for the sake of doing good and helping those in need is slightly more acceptable – or at least this is what tends to be what guides many stories of people who decide to take enormous risks for the greater…

Here the Whole Time (2026)
There is nothing quite as mystifying as developing a crush on someone, and this can only become more complicated if it is targeted at a person who is deemed way out of your league, or with whom you don’t have the most particularly pleasant relationship. Focusing on the people with whom we develop these relationships…
Ink (2026)
Everyone loves a good scandal – there’s something about learning about the sordid lives of the rich and famous (or even the poor and obscure, if the story is good enough) that draws our attention, even if we should know better. This is the reason we exist in the media landscape we do now, where…
The Beloved (2026)
The bond between a parent and a child is a fascinating concept, since every family has a different dynamic, with some being more positive than others. However, it is universally acknowledged that we are the product of our surroundings, and the relationship with those who brought us into the world (even if we don’t have…
Glenrothan (2026)
There’s nothing quite like the love between siblings, which is something that anyone who has been raised alongside a brother or sister (or multiple of either or both) will know extremely well. We’re either handed this unfamiliar person, or, in some cases, handed to them depending on who was born first, and told that they…
Coward (2026)
The past is certainly a difficult place for anyone to live, which has spurred so many artists to attempt to explore the layered histories of a particular time and place, drawing correlations between the lives of the people in the past and those who are alive today, particularly in finding connections between them in terms…
Heel (2026)
How do you correct bad behaviour? Every parent has a different approach to the art of discipline, some preferring a more gentle, language-based approach, others believing that the only way to curb misbehaviour is through physical means. In both accounts, it is a very contentious topic, despite being very personal and tailored to each individual…
Armand (2024)
Unless an individual is beyond lacking in talent, I tend to be quite ambivalent about the idea of nepotism as a negative element of art – it is entirely possible that someone can get a substantial boost by being related to notable figures in the industry and also talented enough that their work can be…
The Strawberry Blonde (1941)
While his contemporary reputation may suggest otherwise, Raoul Walsh was one of our great masters of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Few directors were able to work so consistently across as diverse a range of genres as he did, nor were there many who could manage to attract some of the industry’s finest talents to…
All of a Sudden (2026)
There are certain subjects that are very difficult to speak about, even when they are built around inevitabilities. In fact, one could argue that the fact that they are universal experiences is precisely what makes them nearly impossible to even begin exploring, since they evoke uncomfortable emotions that most of us would prefer not to…
