Claudia de Breij: Hallo Lieve Mensen 

Over the last several years, I have had the privilege of being one of the critics having the opportunity to watch and review several films from writer/director/producer Marcellus Cox, whose efforts are never anything less but grounded, relevant, and steeped in unflinching glimpses illustrating the gripping, inspired, and ever-vacillating realms that make up the human condition.

A short film that begins with the language of romance but slowly reveals something far more unsettling beneath the surface.

Another uneven "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" redux that says nothing novel about its subject matter.

It is as bad as your remember, and you are fortunate if you've never watched it. Keep it that way!

My Beautiful Laundrette is often referenced as a positive LGBTQIA+ film because our two main characters are in a homosexual relationship with no shame, fear of violence or criticism. The struggle is not their sexuality. It is the treatment of the Pakistani citizens in England.

Presenting a bold and unapologetic narrative focused on strong Muslim female characters, the show beautifully incorporates punk rock as a feminist movement in their lives.
