When it comes to horror, Danny and Michael Philippou are a team to watch. While their first outing, #TalkToMe is ultimately the better, more coherent film, #BringHerBack has it beat in terms of sheer intensity and visceral horror, especially as manifest in my new favorite person ever, Oliver.

Despite owing a big debt to Dusk Until Dawn, #sinners is great. The sets, cinematography, characters are rich, the music and choreography stunning and genuinely frightening. It gets maudlin at the end, needlessly repeating a mournful review of the characters post-credits, but a triumph nonetheless.

Though at times #AdolescenceNetflix wallows in its pain, and the one-shot per episode camerawork can feel a little gimmicky, it's nevertheless a gripping portrait of male violence, beautifully written and performed.

Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?
You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today. (1976)
