THE EXAM – ★★☆

Melodramatic Kurdish film about a girl who wants to pass her exams so she doesn’t have to be forced into an arranged marriage. They seem to go to incredible efforts to cheat rather than spending time studying. This one didn’t do it for me.

EVERYBODY LOVES JEANNE – ★★★☆

Easygoing romance about a French woman who faces a career crisis and returns to Portugal after many years away to sell her deceased mother’s apartment. Very nice use of animations to represent the voice inside her head. 

EMILY THE CRIMINAL – ★★★★

Good crime/drama/thriller starring Aubrey Plaza showing the type of American employment situations that would act as perfect fodder for /r/AntiWork, and how the lead will go to significant effort to try and get ahead.
