There’s been a slew of feel good movies coming out this year, most of which debuted during this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and Mads Matthiesen’s debut feature film Teddy Bear fits safely into that trend. Based on a short film also from Matthiesen, Teddy Bear features a heartfelt story, along with a stellar performance from the film’s lead, Kim Kold. It’s the perfect blend of comedy and drama, and while the storyline itself is nothing special, it’s the uniqueness of the characters that make this film worth your time.

Craig Zobel’s Compliance is a deeply disturbing, yet masterfully crafted tale, based on true events. It’s not a film for everyone, and it’s a difficult film to watch and to write about. That being said, it’s a wonderfully shot, riveting, nail-biter of a film that will leave you yelling at the screen and wanting it all to be over. It’s one of the few instances where the term “Inspired by true events,” is not only a true statement, but reinforces the events of the film.
