Outlander (Season 2, Episode 2)
Seriously, bless this show. This week’s highlights were swan nipples and “I can see your third rib!” ★★★★
Mystery Road (2013)
An Aboriginal detective returns to his remote home town to investigate the murder of a local girl. Director Ivan Sen creates a uniquely Australian narrative in which the desolate landscape assumes a character of its own. A brooding, thought provoking film underscored by racial tensions and corruption. ★★★★
Ex Machina (2015)
This film delves into the ethics of artificial intelligence and leads you to question the morality of the key characters. The relatively slow, philosophical pacing at the outset may turn viewers off, but ultimately it is a complex film that invites debate (especially if you’re into sci-fi). The visual effects and soundtrack stand out. ★★★★
