      These Apple TV treasures will keep your weekend entertaining

      Apple TV may not always receive the recognition it deserves, yet its film selection is quietly filled with treasures perfect for your weekend. Featuring a hand-drawn animated classic, an emotional sci-fi road trip, and a thrilling political drama based on real events, these three overlooked films will ensure your weekend is enjoyable.

      **Wolfwalkers (2020)**

      *Genre: Animation, Fantasy, Adventure*

      *IMDB rating: 8.0/10*

      *Rotten Tomatoes (critics): 99%*

      Set in 17th-century Kilkenny, Ireland, Wolfwalkers tells the story of Robyn, the daughter of an English hunter assigned to eliminate the last wolf pack in the area. She forms a friendship with a wild girl from a mythical tribe that transforms into wolves while they slumber. The film, created by the Oscar-nominated Irish studio Cartoon Saloon, showcases stunning hand-drawn animation that oscillates between precise geometric forms and free-flowing brushwork.

      The artistic style adapts to reflect Robyn’s surroundings, resulting in a mesmerizing visual experience. I appreciate how Irish folklore and colonial history are intricately woven into the narrative, leaving a lasting impression even after the film ends.

      **Finch (2021)**

      *Genre: Sci-fi, Drama, Adventure*

      *IMDB rating: 6.9/10*

      *Rotten Tomatoes (critics): 74%*

      Taking place in a scorched, post-apocalyptic America following a solar disaster that nearly wipes out humanity, Finch portrays a dying robotics engineer who constructs a robot to care for his dog after he passes. Tom Hanks embodies the titular character, delivering a performance filled with a quiet warmth that makes the story resonate genuinely rather than overly sentimental.

      Director Miguel Sapochnik, known for his ambitious episodes of Game of Thrones, infuses the film with a grand visual perspective while telling a surprisingly intimate tale. The movie embraces humor and tenderness, setting aside the bleakness of its backdrop. I particularly enjoy how the film opts for warmth and laughter instead of dwelling on its somber setting. It’s a heartfelt sci-fi narrative that truly deserves its underrated acclaim.

      **Boys State (2020)**

      *Genre: Documentary*

      *IMDB rating: 7.6/10*

      *Rotten Tomatoes (critics): 94%*

      This documentary immerses viewers in a week-long event where a thousand teenage boys from Texas create a representative government from the ground up. Directors Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine expertly capture the chaos, revealing something extraordinary in the process. The film received the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, a recognition it thoroughly deserves.

      You witness these young men forming political groups, orchestrating smear campaigns, and strategizing to win at almost any cost. It presents a disturbingly accurate depiction of the functioning of American democracy. I admire how the film allows these individuals to emerge as genuinely complex and contradictory, with some personalities offering surprises you wouldn't anticipate.
