Rated: 3/4 May 5, 2022 Full Review Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter A contemporary fairy tale that’s firmly rooted in the grit of social decay. Apr 19, 2022 Full Review Barry Hertz Globe and Mail The White Fortress is a startling, hypnotizing, but above all haunting work destined to linger. Mar 22, 2022 Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho?
