Animated film DEEP SEA screening at Tribeca Festival looks absolutely incredible in 3D. Die-hard anime fans should definitely see it. It might be too much for casual viewers due to its lack of a clear plot and the potential sensory overload it might cause. It will stream as part of Tribeca At Home.
Richelieu
Richelieu lays out the real life horrors migrant workers face every day, in this case at a food processing plant in Quebec. You can feel the influence of The Dardenne Brothers right away.

Dead Girls Dancing
Director Anna Roller, actresses Luna Jordan, Katharina Stark, Noemi Nicolaisen, and crew members at the Tribeca Festival World Premiere of their film DEAD GIRLS DANCING.
Somewhere Quiet
Somewhere Quiet is no A Quiet Place. It employs many horror clichés without much impact and the way it blurred trauma and reality failed to resonate with me. Jennifer Kim is fine, but the always reliable Marin Ireland was the main saving grace in this psychological horror.
