Lukas Dhont’s “Close”
Toxic masculinity poisons the well of childhood in this rich and moving melacholic masterpiece that is ultimately cathartic

Halina Reijn’s “Bodies Bodies Bodies”
Based on a story by Kristen Roupenian with a crackling script from Sarah DeLappe, this is a fresh take on the genre with terrific direction from Halina Reign supported by excellent casting and a more down-to-earth approach that ends beautifully.
