THE DRAMA Review: Viscerally Affecting Comedy?

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 16:22:04 -0500

Kristoffer Borgli's The Drama sits somewhere between much of Lars von Trier's output and Sean Price Williams's The Sweet East on the artful edgelord spectrum; albeit closer to the latter's live action South Park than the sometimes incisive work of the former. The Drama is a fantastically constructed film that, for the most part, threads a delicate needle of unnerving and broadly funny; largely sidestepping cringe comedy to create something more unique, and certainly more affecting. While the opening scenes almost lull viewers into a state of knowing comfort with the trappings of a romantic comedy (Nancy Meyers interiors and cultural, high-paying jobs included), surprisingly sharp editing, Daniel Pemberton's prickly woodwind score, and some bold sound design choices hint at something darker looming. During a...

Home Video Roundup: DEATHSTALKER and More New Releases From Kino, The Criterion Collection, Warner and Made By Mutant

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 11:02:11 -0500

Dave Canfield aka The Creature Feature Preacher here to opine on all things physical media. I’ve got titles from The Criterion Collection, Warner Brothers and Kino and a very special vinyl release from Made By Mutant. It’s a rich mix of the new, the retro and the arthouse. I’ve been waiting for Dante’s Peak to hit 4K for awhile. It has the perfect blend of kitschy earnestness and spectacular disaster effects as well as a first rate cast featuring Pierce Brosnan as the hunky volcano expert and Linda Hamilton as the hot single mom. The secondary cast isn’t bad either, featuring John Carpenter regulars Charles Callahan and Peter Jason. This has a lengthy 'making of' documentary and an audio commentary featuring director Roger Donaldson. ...

THE KILLER Review: John Woo's Achingly Romantic Bloodbath Returns to Cinemas

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 11:02:11 -0500

The power of the gun is terrible and beautiful in equal measure in the work of John Woo, the inarguable alpha dog of the Hong Kong heroic bloodshed genre, whose unrelentingly and entertainingly violent streak in the late 80s and early 90s defined an era of melodramatic excess in action cinema. An infinite ammo clip here, a slow-motion dove there, symbols of devotion and faith scattered everywhere, there's never been a cliche Woo didn't define and then transcend, all in the name of high-calibre visceral emotion. Plum in the middle of his Hong Kong golden era (sandwiched between two A Better Tomorrow films and the furious double-header of Bullet in the Head and Hard Boiled) is The Killer, perhaps the most achingly romantic he has...

ALPHA Review: Violent Grief and Desperate Love

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0500

Grief is not a straight line that slowly leads from deep sorrow to acceptance and remembrance; it comes in waves, and can reignite like a bonfire at the strangest moments, even decades on. Fear can likewise come like an tornado that threatens to fling you into oblivion. Addiction can be a blessed relief from all that which tears at our souls, even if it kills us. Alpha, the third feature from Julia Ducournau (Raw, Titane), is an exploration of wounds fresh and old, the pain of growing up an outsider, the treatment of those marked as different and those who mark themselves. In this story of a girl's brush with death, the harsh lesson inflicted on her by a mother who blames herself for that over...

THE AI DOC: OR HOW I BECAME AN APOCALOPTIMIST Review: Timely, Personal, Must-See Doc

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 12:02:12 -0500

To Daniel Roher, the documentary filmmaker behind 2022’s essential Academy Award winner, Navalny, AI (Artificial Intelligence) isn’t just an abstract construct or the latest technological wonder endlessly hyped by Silicon Valley CEOs, the mainstream media, and self-appointed tech influencers as the end-all, be-all answer to the world's ills. Far from it, of course, Contrarily, AI signifies something deeply personal for Roher, driven by a generalized anxiety closely related to impending parenthood, the pregnancy of his life partner, Caroline Lindy, a talented writer-director in her own right (Your Monster), and the upcoming birth of their son. What kind of future, Roher can’t help but wonder, awaits his son? Luckily for Roher, his background in the documentary world, not to mention winning an Oscar, gave...

Cinequest 2026 Review: HEARTWORM, Provocative, Poignant Sci-Fi Ghost Story

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 11:32:11 -0500

In the very near-future of husband-and-wife filmmaking duo Miriam Louise Arens and Mitchell Arens’ impressively realized feature-length debut, Heartworm, it could be the day after tomorrow. A family of three, Avena (Amber Gray), Mark (Juan Riedinger), and Zamira (Ellie Reine), suddenly becomes a family of two, leaving Avena, a concert pianist from a family of concert pianists, and her husband, Mark, positively shatttered, lost, and unmoored. That same near-future, however, has led to a technological leap, NeuraLife, that allows for instant entry and departure into a fully realized virtual world resembling our own. It also allows both Avena and Mark an escape from the life-distorting grief that haunts their days and invades their dreams, turning them into nightmares of loss. But it's also...

A MAGNIFICENT LIFE Review: It Shows One, Animated

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 08:00:07 -0500

Biopics aren't my favorite kind of film. The things a person has done are often more interesting than the person himself, and it is not often that you need to know the background story of the person, what motivated him. Often you're just shown talent, or necessity, or opportunity. Or what happened. So for me it wasn't without irony that I noticed that one of my favorite films this year at the International Film Festival Rotterdam was I Swear, a biopic. It even won the audience award, as if to rub it in. And it wasn't even the only biopic I liked at the festival: master animator Sylvain Chomet, of The Triplets of Belleville and The Illusionist fame, had made a nice one too. His...

SXSW 2026 Review: EDIE ARNOLD IS A LOSER, A Wholesome Punk Rock Blast Of Teenage Rebellion

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 16:01:01 -0500

A frustrated catholic schoolgirl accidentally forms a punk band with her “turd” friends and turns her campus upside down in Edie Arnold is a Loser, the contagiously charming, super energetic debut feature from writer/directors Kade Atwood and Megan Rico. Edie (Adi Madden Cabrera) hates her catholic school. The only modicum of joy she gets is fantasizing about rock ‘n’ roll while (barely) playing drums for her school’s terrible church choir. Sharing her frustration is the choir organist, the explosively enthusiastic Frances (McKenna Tuckett). The choir is populated by very pretty girls with very little talent, making their jobs as accompanists torturous. They wile away their school days complaining with their more subdued friends Judith (Niki Rahimi) and Ellen (Alexa Paige), all while the popular girls...

READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME Review: Samara Weaving Runs From The Murderous Rich, Again.

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 08:01:01 -0500

Grace may be done with the Le Domas family, but the family is nowhere near done with her in Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, the long-awaited sequel to 2019’s surprise critical hit directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. While this iteration of the film manages to retain some of the original’s fun, it finds itself mired in repetition in spite of an expanded world and a host of fun supporting characters. When we last left Grace Le Domas née McCaulley (Samara Weaving), she’d survived a deadly night of hide and seek conducted by the Lo Domas family, board game magnates who’d amassed a fortune thanks to a deal with Mr. Le Bail (aka, The Devil). We open on Grace smoking a well-deserved...

SXSW 2026 Review: DRAG, Lizzy Caplan Shines As A Would-Be Thief Felled By A Bad Back

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 17:43:38 -0500

Sometimes it feels good to fuck over someone who has wronged you, but sometimes it turns out to be a terrible mistake. In the case of first-time feature writer/directors Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer’s Drag, Lizzy Caplan and her movie sister, Lucy DeVito, find themselves firmly in the latter camp when Caplan throws her back out immediately after breaking into a shitty man’s house to liberate his valuables as payback for a rather nebulous transgression committed against her. When we first meet the unnamed duo of Caplan and DeVito they are sitting outside of a rather ostentatious modernist home getting ready to do the job. The plan is for Caplan to break in and grab whatever she can, while DeVito stays ready as the getaway...

Thessaloniki 2026 Review: CANDIDATES OF DEATH, Homemade Horror from Poland

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 11:02:11 -0500

A long-term experiment in filmmaking, Candidates of Death started almost 20 years ago when documentarian Maciej Cuske took his son Stasiu and his friends Rafal and Adrian on a vacation. Friends since kindergarten, the three youths were fans of horror movies. During the vacation, Cuske encourages them to make their own horror film, starting a tradition they will continue over the years in a dozen iterations of Candidates of Death. A quick montage covers the friends' efforts. An evil grandmother. Zombies. A monster in a blue mask. Clearly amateur work, but made with enthusiasm. Outtakes and behind the scenes material show how much fun everyone is having. In the present, Stasiu and Rafal relax on bunk beds in a camper, waiting for Adrian and Cuske...

SXSW 2026 Review: MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE, A Sci-Fi Action Gangster Hybrid With Heart

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 12:00:34 -0500

Mike (James Marsden) is done with the gangster life. He’s found a girl, he wants to settle down, and he’s ready to leave it all behind. There are a couple of problems, though. Number one, the girl, Alice (Eiza González), is already married to his partner, Nick (Vince Vaughn); and number two, he’s really, really good at killing people. It’s that second part that leads Nick to call on him one last time to take care of some last-minute business, and while Mike is hesitant, he feels like he owes Nick and goes along for the ride. What Mike isn’t expecting is that the business at hand involves another Nick, and what began as a gangster story is now a time travel story, and shit...

A woman seeking to rescue her little sister takes a job at an ultra-exclusive hotel only to find that the residents have a nasty, violent, murderous secret in director Kirill Sokolov’s Hollywood debut, They Will Kill You. Asia Reaves (Zazie Beetz) is a fighter. Ten years ago, she tries to rescue her little sister from an abusive father, but after trying and failing to kill him, she ran away, leaving her sister to fend for herself. After serving hard time for her crime, Asia is now determined to get Maria (played as an adult by Myha’la) out of her job at the extremely shady Virgil high-rise, but what she doesn’t know is that the building hosts a very violent cult who will stop at nothing...

SXSW 2026 Review: BEYOND THE DUPLEX PLANET Explores the Life of Artist David Greenberger

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 11:02:11 -0500

In documentaries like Welcome to the Club and The Winding Stream, director Beth Harrington celebrates the work of outsider artists, pinpointing their importance in culture. Beyond the Duplex Planet covers David Greenberger, more overlooked rather than an outsider. For years Greenberger attracted a cult following for his zine The Duplex Planet, built from his experiences at a Boston nursing home for the elderly. There Greenberger befriended eccentrics, recording interviews with them on various formats. Greenberger adapted their anecdotes for his zine, but also for performances in which he would act out their words to a jazz or rock backing. He parlayed this into appearances on NPR's All Things Considered, as well as collaborations with musicians from Los Lobos and NRBQ. At the time he started...

In 2024 Damian McCarthy lit up the horror world with his quietly terrifying Oddity, a film I reviewed for its SXSW world premiere, and while it was topping year end horror lists left and right, I was a bit less enthusiastic. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed the film, and have seen it a couple of times since, but I felt like there was just something missing that couldn’t quite put my finger on. Here we are two years down the road and McCarthy is back, and it’s time for his close-up.

Every year the SXSW Film & TV Festival Headliner section gets more and more genre film-centric, and the 2026 edition is no different.
