Mini-Reviews - 2020 Edition

As we know, 2020 has been a horrible year everywhere for everyone and everything, including the beloved art of filmmaking. Countless delays, complete removals of the year’s schedule, and a total stop in filming production. It couldn’t be any worse for cinema. Movie theaters are struggling to survive, blockbusters are gradually moving to home viewing… 2020 is the year everyone hoped to never live through.
