      Cath Clarke Guardian Depuis is brilliant on the dynamics in men's relationships. Rated: 3/5 Aug 17, 2021 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Dupius uses a remarkably intimate filmmaking style that allows the actors to subtly infuse scenes with the inner thoughts and feelings of characters who are at a point of crisis. Rated: 4/5 Aug 26, 2021 Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row With a more realistic premise, [writer-director Sophie] Dupuis's knack with actors and for navigating how men perform masculinity - and are hindered by it - is on full display here.
