I’m no better than a man. I sat myself in front of Forbidden Fruits for eye candy, a catty story, and to re-up on a healthy serving of gender. From marketing alone, Meredith Alloway’s debut feature makes promises on all of these, and delivers on all but one. Regardless, remember that I told you so

Sometimes a film has all of the key ingredients, years to marinate, and an impassioned chef, but still tastes off. That’s how I feel about Kevin Hamedani’s The Saviors. I get what it’s doing and love that. I love this cast and enjoyed the bits that worked. However, it sadly fell flat in a lot
