GHOST TROPIC- 2020. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Khadija (Saadia Bentaïeb) is a fifty-eight-year-old Maghrebi cleaning woman living in Brussels in the wake of the 2016 bombings that shook the city. After work one night, she falls asleep on the last subway train, wakes up at the end of the line and has no choice but to make her way home–all the way across the city–on foot. Along the way, she has a series of encounters: with a security guard, a convenience store clerk, a group of teenagers. She asks for help and she gives it and slowly, steadily makes her way.”
8/28/20- Excellent reviews for this foreign drama. TRDB.

I USED TO GO HERE- 2020. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Following the lackluster launch of her debut novel, 35-year-old writer Kate Conklin (Gillian Jacobs) receives an invitation from her former professor and old crush (Jemaine Clement) to speak at her alma mater. With her book tour cancelled, and her ego deflated, Kate decides to take the trip, wondering if returning to her old college as a published author might give her the morale boost she sorely needs. Instead, she falls into a comical regression — from misadventures with eccentric twenty-year olds to feelings of jealousy toward her former professor’s new favorite student.”
8/8/20- Very good reviews by the critics and just fair ones from audiences. TRDB.
