¹ Project Hail Mary [is] a highly emotional yet crowd-pleasing intergalactic adventure that truly captures the pure optimism and hopefulness of space exploration.

² The Drama's unexpected but (sur)real comedy about an otherwise sweet romance, heightened to often shocking lengths through some seriously unhinged drama, mines so much laugh-out-loud, dark screwball humour about the mutual attraction.

³ Mile End Kicks [has] so many genuinely authentic recent period details about the highs and lows of arts journalism and being around artists.
