Ben Philippe recommends
The Deluge (2023)
Stephen Markley
"Engrossing and timely. A towering achievement in style and substance that is at once timeless and impossibly urgent."
Simone Breaks All the Rules (2021)
Debbie Rigaud
"As specifically Haitian and universally relatable as it gets. Simone is an instant star. Her heartbreaks are as heartwarming and cheer-worthy as her victories."
It Came from the Sky (2020)
Chelsea Sedoti
"A page-turner as engrossing as any classic Twilight Zone starring two spirited brothers who run circles around the Hardy Boys."
