Wasteman review: David Jonsson shines in a tightly wound prison drama
★★★★☆ | A smart, misdirecting film that refuses easy judgement, Michael Morgan writes
‘Wasteman’ is a raw, claustrophobic prison thriller—and David Jonsson is absolutely mesmerising. Hands down, the shooting star of his generation 🔥. My review for @UKBlackcurrent 👇🏾

Overfamiliarity isn’t always a term of endearment. It’s often a manipulation tactic used even by workplaces.
Let’s talk about how:
✔️ How overfamiliarity is weaponized in workplaces.
✔️ Why neurodivergent people and Black women are often the targets
✔️ The psychology behind false closeness.
