Serif, the manager of a launderette in London’s Bethnal Green, dedicates her time to her regulars. Serving cups of tea and listening to their stories, Serif enriches their lives by helping the local elderly community. Laundriness is a simple and sensitive observational documentary about the meaning of life, fate, hope and regrets.
Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.

A sweet slice-of-life anime that visualizes all the ways we creatively hide our vulnerabilities from the world.
