4/10 Stardust “It’s not just that Stardust couldn’t capture what made Bowie so exciting and vital, but that director Gabriel Range and writer Christopher Bell seemingly didn’t even try.”

7/10 Evil Eye “Evil Eye has a delicious slow boil that gets you wholly sewn up in the characters’ alarm bells over mundane developments until the epic pay-off in the finale.”
