Fjord â first-look review
Cristian Mungiu takes a mad pop at the Norwegian child services system in this dour, misfired moral drama starring Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve.

âGenre-bendingâ as a term is bandied around a lot in film marketing, but itâs hard to think of a film where it feels more apt a descriptor; Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma defies easy categorisation.
