Out of Season is a strongly executed film that delivers a plot constructed from a reality of regret, offering strong performances and beautiful cinematography.

There is a glimmer of hope with the upcoming Australian release of its sequel in June, The Three Musketeers: Milady, which may shed some light on the lacklustre narrative decisions in Part One, but as it stands D’Artagnan’s best is too fleeting, and settles itself far into the saturated market of generic blockbusters.

If you’re into German language biographical films set in Berlin, offbeat heroines, and sobbing until your eyes are red then From Hilde, with Love is the film for you.

A patchwork quilt of genres, Alice Rohrwacher’s La Chimera is a grimy and charismatic fairytale, and Josh O’Connor is its beating heart. 

World cinema can bring us a film like this: a tiny love story, from a country you may never visit, dressed up like an anti-capitalist screed.

Alcarràs is a moving piece of cinema that will quietly consume you for its two-hour runtime with feelings of awe, anticipation, some chuckles, and empathy for the farmers that put fruit into our homes.

As I was watching this film I couldn’t help but remember a certain A-list celebrity who recently told people to get off their asses and work. Gavel’s film is the perfect response to comments like this; it is just an added bonus that it happens to be an enthrallingly thrilling film too.
