What We’re Watching is a guide to must-watch films and television, exclusively curated by The Light Leaks team. Finding new things to watch shouldn’t feel intimidating- too many of us have been bombarded by bro-y film culture telling us what’s good. This column is our way of introducing you to new (and maybe some familiar) faves, sans-gatekeeping. Happy viewing!
