Seaspiracy (2021)

 

Passionate about ocean life, a filmmaker sets out to document the harm that humans do to marine species - and uncovers alarming global corruption. 

Criticized for its lax handling of some facts and statistics, this documentary does clearly make its case about the destruction the fish industry causes to our oceans and a plea for us to reduce or do without fish consumption.

The Woman in the Window (2021)

 

An agoraphobic woman living alone in New York begins spying on her new neighbors, only to witness a disturbing act of violence. 

Despite all its credentials this well-produced thriller is thoroughly derivative and piles up so many plot options so that any possible twist ending would only disappoint.
