NINJABABY – ★★★★

Enjoyable Norwegian film about a young girl who discovers she’s pregnant, and her juggling around what to do with the baby, as well as the relationships around her. A good sense of humour to the film, and the animated augmentation was well used.

CAPTAINS OF ZA’ATARI – ★★☆

Documentary about two Syrian refugees who hope to make it as professional football (soccer) players. Really nicely filmed, and the filmmakers managed to capture several human moments that made me double-check whether it was a scripted film or not. I’d have liked a little more narrative though, to find out more about the background, their situation, and sometimes what was playing out before me.

PLAYLIST – ★★★

French film with many similar themes to the film I watched earlier in the day, Ninjababy. A twenty-something girl wants to be an graphic novelist, gets pregnant (though in this one it’s not as core to the story), and similarly has a scene where she fakes being someone else in a meeting. While it wasn’t terrible, after Ninjababy, it paled in comparison. I did like the soundtrack, and that in the black and white film, some colour shading was used on the movie she watched in the theatre.
