Questions for all of our film reviewers on #filmsky How do you choose what films to review? Are you open to being pitched by smaller film studios for review coverage? What’s the best way to be pitched? Curious to see who is open to collaborating on indie films.

So now, we’re going to reward Russia for its aggression against Ukraine? This echoes the power politics and Realpolitik of the 19th century, particularly the Congress of Vienna (1815), where great powers prioritized stability and balance over justice or national self-determination.
