With an undoubtedly heated US election coming up, And So It Begins feels very relevant and, even a bit sobering. Acting as a kind of spiritual companion to A Thousand Cuts, director Ramona S.

Remember that spy movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith from 2005? No? Well, it was a middle-of-the-road action movie that is only remembered briefly for its on and off-screen romance between its stars Brad Pitt and Angelia Jolie. This was controversial because Pitt was dating good girl Jennifer Aniston at the time. Almost twenty years later, the brand is brought back by way of a Prime Video television series. Why?

We are early into the new year, and the gods of cinema are not being very kind. Director Xavier Gens has had a very interesting career.

This was received so well that, despite only having one feature film under his belt, he was given a big-budget Hollywood action film.
