Dream Horse
Review by Mia Sherry Truth be told, how award winning and Oscar-nominated queen of the screen Toni Collette even entertained the notion of starring in Dream Horse is an oral history that will no doubt be passed down through generations along with other profound mysteries like “why is the sky blue?”, “how come Amy AdamsContinue reading “Dream Horse”
Why Did You Kill Me?
Review by Lila Funge What begins as a grieving mother’s search for justice in her daughter’s murder case turns into a story that weaves together gang violence, cyclical poverty, and guilt in the fallout of trauma.

The third in TFR’s coverage of VMDIFF, with reviews by Cathal Eustace and Katie McKenna.
