Cold Copy

Making her feature debut, writer-director Roxine Helberg focuses Cold Copy on the relationship between an eager postgraduate journalism student and the seasoned TV reporter she’s determined to impress. Yet Mia (Bel Powley, The Morning Show) shows so few ethics at the outset, we’re not surprised by the lines she oversteps later. She’s also a cipher, with little motivation about why she’s so hungry to succeed in a profession so cutthroat, one character says workers fight over the bagels in the breakroom.
