A newly released slate of reviews examines a Covid-era romance and a Sundance-like indie road movie, both with uneven executions. The Guardian critics note the emotional aims, world-building, and performances, while raising questions about pacing, scope, and commercial strategy.

The slate includes The Scotsman’s review of Whalefall and Guardian critics on contemporary theatre.
