Antiviral (2012)

 

A thriving industry sells celebrity illnesses to their obsessed fans. Employee Syd March's attempts to exploit the system backfire when they involve him in a potentially deadly mystery.

A truly dystopian vision presents a future in which capitalist interests have created a market for body modification and the spread of viruses; well made and photographed in clinical whites enhancing the horror of the goings-on and the truly devastating ending.

 

 

Indignation (2016)

 

In 1951, Marcus, a working-class Jewish student from New Jersey, attends a small Ohio college, where he struggles with sexual repression and cultural disaffection, amid the ongoing Korean War. 

Proper adaptation of the Philip Roth novel presents the tragedy in a calm, old-fashioned style with good period detail and an excellent cast.

True Detective, Season 3 (2019)

A macabre crime in the heart of the Ozarks and a mystery that deepens over decades and plays out in three separate time periods.

Third time round the series continues in expected top quality of production, and again it's the two lead's extraordinary performances that holds the interest; the plot itself develops quite slowly and is construed a bit too complicatedly.

The Girl King (2015)

Brilliant, extravagant Kristina of Sweden, queen from age six, fights the conservative forces that are against her ideas to modernize Sweden and who have no tolerance for her awakening sexuality.

Effortlessly accomplished and even entertaining historical drama with a very excellent ensemble.

Sarah Gadon

Enemy (2013)

A man seeks out his exact look-alike after spotting him in a movie.

Somnambulant psychological drama conceived as one large riddle fascinates as a complex mystery, but the surprise end scene is grafted and quite a letdown.

Maltin**: "Ponderous psychological thriller...Strange, off-putting story, told in hushed tones,invites comparison to David Lynch's dreamlike films."
