Gints Zilbalodis was a most-deserving winner of the Oscar for Best Animated Feature at this year's Academy Awards, for sheer creativity and ingenuity alone. It helps that Flow is a beautiful and poignant story of survival and found family, but the manner in which Zilbalodis put this film together - using basic software on his home laptop - is so inspiring that it demands our attention. The results of that experiment are stunning. Flow is so full of life and energy that you almost forget you're watching an animation at times. Who would have known a cartoon cat would have us in floods of tears?

See this film on the biggest, loudest screen you can, and it'll reverberate through your soul for hours (maybe even days) after. Warfare is not a movie I'd rush to watch again, but that's only down to the profoundly uncomfortable and impactful experience we must endure the first time round. It's a no-holds-barred depiction of the minutae of conflict, with raucous explosions, frenetic camerawork, and some of the most authentic performances I've seen in a while. Credit to Joseph Quinn and Cosmo Jarvis for transmitting their pain so convincingly that I forgot they were even actors at all.
