FlixChatter Review: NOWHERE SPECIAL – James Norton is exceptional in this beautifully poignant father-son drama
As I watched this film in the middle of covering MSPIFF, I felt like Nowhere Special would’ve been a perfect film to see with an audience at a film festival. I’ve been a fan of James Norton for some time so I’m immediately sold on this film when I see him as as a lead. …

FlixChatter Review: MR. JONES (2019)
I've always been a fan of journalism film and this film shed a light on a horrifying event that I wasn't familiar about – the Holodomor, the man-made famine-genocide in Ukraine in early 1930s that killed many Ukranians.
