Love, Spells and All That has a great premise. It also has a consistent sense of its own identity and tone. It just so happens that said tone was joyless magical realism. 5.4/10
Ellie and Abbie has a surprising, poignant emotional centre. This, in addition to its genuinely funny jokes, makes it one of the most moving and successful WLW comedies I’ve seen. 8.7/10
I was NOT prepared for Ana and Vitória. This is a fascinating, baffling and very bad movie. 3.5/10
