Marvelous and the Black Hole and
Land capture the intricacies of grief, with Kate Tsang and
Robin Wright, respectively, tackling rather difficult subject matter in very different ways. There isn’t one correct formula to telling a story, no matter how similar they might be, and both these films offer a unique perspective on how and why we grieve.

In her feature directorial debut,
Marvelous and the Black Hole,
Kate Tsang has created a tender examination of grief through the lens of a 13-year old child. The film hovers around the imaginative nature of childhood, but never flinches away from the serious nature of the narrative, and handles the concept of lived grief with maturity. This is a striking debut from a promising filmmaker.
