Aussie Remake of Domestic Drama a Satisfying Thriller, David Stratton , single work review
— Review of Angel of Mine Luke Davies , 2019 single work film/TV ;

'Set in Melbourne, Angel of Mine is a remake of a French film, L’empreinte de l’ange (Mark of the Angel), made in 2008 by Safy Nebbou, director of the recent Who You Think I Am.

A Longing to Test Our Limits, Danielle Clode , single work review
