Quick Take: THE UNITED WAY

Very slickly made, with lots of interesting archive footage, but there’s an obvious downside.

This limited series is a thrilling and moving tale about community and grief.

Quick Take: ARMY OF THE DEAD

It looks like Zack Snyder is having more fun than when he’s making superhero movies; there’s even a zombie tiger here.

Quick Take: TOVE

Alma Pöysti is fine, but the film can’t seem to find an intriguing way to connect Tove Jansson to her wildly creative Moomin books and comic strips.
