Mira’s work requires black gloves, a chemical mixture, and the ability to leave before another person stops breathing. Denis Côté refuses to make that routine dramatic in the expected sense. Death arrives quietly, through appointments in parking lots and homes, and the lack of ceremony is precisely what makes Nobody’s Violence so uncomfortable. Larissa Corriveau plays Mira, a woman providing an illicit form of assisted death to people who have decided they cannot continue living. One woman with lung cancer receives medication in a parked car. Mira tells her to drink water, then leaves. An elderly man listens to hard...

Cooking acquires a sinister political vocabulary when the person waiting for dinner can imprison the chef, empty a village, or starve a country. Andrew Neel’s How to Feed a Dictator, adapted from Witold Szabłowski’s nonfiction book, approaches Pol Pot, Augusto Pinochet, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, and Kim Jong-il through people who encountered them in circumstances stripped of podiums and uniforms. They cooked their meals. Neel photographs the results with almost indecent beauty. Vegetables glisten, meat browns, sauces simmer, and finished plates receive the pristine overhead framing familiar from prestige food television. Each dish belongs to a man whose rule produced...

Being told that your usefulness has expired is a peculiar kind of death. The body remains, the habits remain, the people you love remain, yet an institution has quietly decided that the life you built can be packed into boxes and reassigned. Nat Boltt’s Holy Days, adapted from Dame Joy Cowley’s novel and set in 1970s Aotearoa, hides that melancholy inside a gentle road comedy. Sisters Agnes, Mary Clare, and Luke are elderly Catholic nuns living in a deteriorating convent that church authorities plan to sell. Their response is wonderfully improper. They take Father Findlay’s car, head south in search...

Every enemy in Montabi tells you where it plans to hit before you commit your next move. That small rule does much of the work required to distinguish Mankibo's creature collector from the growing pile of roguelike deckbuilders around it. A glowing target on the grid can send a Montabi into reserve, force the trainer into another square, or convince you to spend precious Action Points on armor instead of damage. Losing rarely feels mysterious. Usually, you can identify the decision that caused it. The surrounding premise is much less distinctive. A teenager's companion is stolen by the X Gang,...

Alex keeps a camera between herself and the skaters because watching people move is easier than deciding where she should go. Erin Vassilopoulos’ Destroy All Girls understands the emotional appeal of that distance. Alex, played with quiet precision by co-writer Ani Mesa-Perez, works at a New Jersey bodega, clashes with her mother, and spends much of her time caring for Gabriel, her older brother, who was paralyzed after a car accident. Skating once belonged to both siblings. Gabriel gave Alex hand-me-down blades, and she filmed him doing tricks before the crash rearranged their lives. Now the camera carries those memories...

Karin af Klintberg keeps the camera calm while her subjects make themselves look guilty. Joachim Posener, the financier who vanished after the 1997 Trustor affair, first appears discussing his past with the composure of a man explaining an inconvenient career change. He tells a manicurist that he once worked in finance, then casually admits he spent years hiding from Interpol. The delivery is almost offensively relaxed. That restraint defines Inside the Trustor Scandal. Klintberg resists the frantic cutting and ominous musical punctuation that financial true crime often uses to manufacture menace. Her menace sits upright in a chair. The scandal...
