Folktales review – taking on tyranny of social media as teens learn to live like hunter-gatherers

-

This is the subject of a documentary from Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady. Over winter months of almost continuous darkness, the teens cleanse themselves with tasks such as camping out in subzero weather, making their own fires and driving sledges with huskies. Prior to all this of course is presumably a solemn promise to do without their phones, tablets and laptops, although there are no scenes of the kids actually having to surrender these gadgets (this isn’t rehab, after all). They have to swim in icy water; and they make it look like fun. What doesn’t look like fun is the camping out and there is one t...

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
