Free Fire
One of Sarah’s favourite directors is Ben Wheatley.
Because of this she made a point to see his new film Free Fire when it played at TIFF 2016.
Though not the knock out that High Rise was, the film displayed Wheatley’s “level of commitment, craftsmanship, and reliability.”

Even though UFC women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk claims she’s not a fan of the trash talk, she can still play a pretty mean set of mind games.
Sarah assembled a panel of academics to analyze exactly how mean those mind games are in a feature story for Fightland.

Salt And Fire
One of the more confounding films Sarah saw at the Toronto International Film Festival this year was Werner Herzog’s maybe environmental kidnap drama Salt And Fire.
Says Sarah, “Fans of his unique style and humor will find much to enjoy in Salt and Fire, even if the film does lack some proper cohesion.”

Miesha Tate
When former UFC champion Miesha Tate lost to Racquel Pennington recently, one of the first things she did was retire, announcing, “I don’t want to fight anymore.”
The “want” part is difficult to define, but incredibly important to have if you intend to be a professional fighter.
Sarah wrote about this for Fightland.
