Kevin Jagernauth - The Film Verdict

Homecoming

‘Homecoming’ is a powerful and poignant look at cultural repatriation.

Axel Petersén conjures a surreal, pure vibes, sun-baked noir that’s equal parts David Lynch and Dashiel Hammett.

Temperatures rise but drama stays stuck in this hellish, apocalyptic vision of Rome.

‘A Happy Day’ is a stylized asylum seeker story that wraps its message inside a frustrating riddle.

‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ is a sensitive look at coming-of-age through the unique lens of the ruthless world of finance.
