Judy & Punch (2018): Dir. Mirrah Foulkes
Feat. Mia Wasikowska, Damon Herriman; Outrageously carnivalesque and blackly comic Australian period drama in which the traditional fairy tale of Punch and Judy is turned on it's head.

Marshall Napier, Annie Whittle, Cohen Holloway; Charming and quietly restrained comedy drama set on a Northland NZ dairy farm, where a third generation farm owner struggles to cope with the loss of his wife, and the local community rallies to support him.

Grapples with the nature of evil and the…
