The Damned Don't Cry ★★★★☆ A believable melodrama grows out of the relationship between a defiantly independent woman (Aicha Tebbae) and her teenage son (Abdellah El Hajjouji) in the second film by the British-Moroccan director Fyzal Boulifa (following 2019's Lynn + Lucy). The two characters share an itinerant life in Morocco until the son rebels against his mother. Bitter emotions bring the drama to life, and Boulifa presents it in rich images. In cinemas and on Curzon Home Cinema, 18, 112min Sponsored Sharonio 'Shabu' Abisoina Shabu ★★★★☆ Teenage energy, summer sunshine and zesty film-making come together in this portrait of a 14-year-old Dutch-Surinamese boy, Sharonio 'Shabu' Abisoina, living in a residential block in Rotterdam.
