Dear Joel (2020)
The Radar read
A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.
Synopsis
Two African brothers have been separated during their escape to Europe. Joel is stranded in Greece, and his older brother is in Italy. We learn what we know about them from the older brother's voicemail messages, which occasionally make themselves known during the stream of images, with both good and bad news, as Joel wanders around aimlessly in the new and unfamiliar world.

Open Double Feature RadarRadar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
