Nawi: Dear Future Me | OBSCURAE @ Raindance 2025
A visually stunning film with superb writing, pacing and performances, Nawi: Dear Future Me is more than just a film about how selling underage girls into marriage is bad.

Sweet and Short
Sweet and Short: Bricked (Dir. Will Stepney)
Directed with restraint and urgency, 'Bricked' is visually engaging and emotionally unnerving.
Deep Dive
I (Finally) Saw the TV Glow: Them vs Us, and the Illusion of the "Trans Film"
Putting a pin on the debate pushed onto the work of every queer artist, where everything they create is treated as inherently political just for existing – much like the artists themselves –, I Saw the TV Glow (2024) is a visually stunning film that is purposely vague in its storytelling.

Regina | OBSCURAE @ Raindance 2025
Regina is a weird combination of both a coming-of-age tale and a gripping, mind-bending psychological thriller.
Reviews
28 Years Later
A surprising, existential and experimental new entry into the iconic series that, while sometimes uneven, still provides more than enough juicy meat for horror fans to sink their teeth into.

Heavyweight | OBSCURAE @ Raindance 2025
A riveting and well-made character study that goes deeper on the tenuous mind-space boxers manage in the lead up to the world's most beloved bloodsport.
Film
🇺🇸Materialists is All About Love, But Less Than The Sum of its Parts
Good cinematography can obscure bad writing, and I'm not really sold on what Materialists is selling about us. The film has charm and disarms in funny little interludes, yet it's disinterested in anything besides the aesthetic.

Sweet and Short
Sweet and Short: "Dear Dorothy" (Dir. Matthew McPherson)
In a haunting, resilient and sharp war short based on a true story, 'Dear Dorothy' gets behind allied lines, and writes the glory from the dirt.
