‘When Fall is Coming’ only finds itself to be treated with some care, ending up another vapid attempt in one of Ozon's many to demystify the stable French countryside.

‘Moneyslapper’s’ brand of violence gets disgusting without ever firing a bullet. It is methodical, yet reckless; straightforward, yet deep.

‘Woman of the Hour’ criticizes how society treats women, from the criminal justice system to the film and television industry. A true crime drama based on real-life serial killer Rodney Alcala. Now streaming on Netflix.
