A slow-building Danish werewolf coming-of-age movie. Exactly as it sounds.

Fucking hilarious! It’s one of those movies I’m gonna buy on DVD after the festival. Set in Brooklyn, it’s about a bisexual Iranian-American going through the first major break-up of her 20s. The whole thing has kinda a Portlandia vibe and I just laughed from start to finish.

A coming-of-age tale set in Jordan focused on a young Bedouin boy who knows nothing but the safety and happiness of home until one day a guest arrives to ask a favour, and for the first time things like war and colonialism enter his life. Just a beautiful film. There’s another showing tomorrow, if you get a chance go see it.
