SKYWALKERS: A LOVE STORY ★★★☆☆
Documentary on a rooftopping couple - those who (illegally) climb the tallest structures. The vertigo-inducing footage is astonishing.

UNDER PARIS ★★½☆☆
Psychotic shark fed on microplastics hunts the French along the Seine. Environmental wake-up call meets sharksploitation horror. Neither done satisfyingly.
