Waves
'Waves' is a film that sticks with you long after you watch it. There are themes of forgiveness, redemption, love, and the importance of family, which makes this a universal story anyone can empathize with.
-
Ford v Ferrari
While it does not quite hit top gear, it is still a rare treat in modern cinema.
-

Far-fetched and utterly conventional.
DVD/Streaming

Good Boys
There's a lot of heart to go around. You can't help but love these boys.
