TAD 2016: Under the Shadow Review
Under the Shadow is a spectacular and genuinely frightening debut feature from writer/director Babak Anvari.
The Devil’s Double Review
The Devil’s Double is the disturbing tale of Latif Yahia, a well to-do Iraqi man who is forced to become the body double of Uday Hussein, the sadistic elder son of dictator Saddam Hussein. Despite a strong first half, this is a very uneven film, one that goes from an interesting character study of two wildly different men to an unnecessary action film by the third act.
