You gotta give props to an action film with no action for the first 20 minutes.

The premise may be shoddy, but the minimalist style is a breath of fresh air.

Boy & the World

Only heavy-handed once (inclusion of live-action footage), so both lovely and relevant.

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: Seasons 2 and 3

OK, so that got a lot better. Likely the escalating tension between Phreney and Jack, or more confidence in their plots, or both.

Suffragette

I knew all of this... until I got to the final list of countries and when they gave women the vote. Switzerland? 1971?!
