Nights' Dan Slevin, is one of the best film reviewers in any medium, consistently convincing, insightful, unpretentious, perceptive, thoughtful and articulate. He joins us every Thursday night, and here's what's caught his eye this week.
Nights' resident screen critic Dan Slevin joins Emile Donovan to review:

PAID STREAMING - Apple Tenzing (directed by Jennifer Peedom). Biopic about the Nepalese-Indian Sherpa Tenzing Norgay who - along with Sir Edmund Hillary - was the first to ascend the peak of Chamolangma (or Mt. Everest) in 1953.
IN CINEMAS Klara and the Sun (directed and co-written by Taikia Waititi.
