Cold winter nights were made for cinema, the kind of films you watch with something warm and don't move until the end. Drama at its most powerful, character-driven, honest, and impossible to look away from. From the 2010s, arguably the most diverse and globally rich decade in film history. When the world feels heavy, these remind you what people are capable of at their best.
