A cerebral, character-driven thriller that uses science fiction to explore the desperate human desire to escape reality.
“The Oldest Person in the World”
A decent (and occasionally beautiful) film that would have benefited from trusting its elderly subjects a little more.
“Coyote vs. Acme”
It gets the Looney Tunes tone just right, balancing rapid-fire comedy with a live action world that feels natural and fun.
“The Salt Path”
Slow but deeply moving, the film turns a story of hardship into a powerful portrait of love, acceptance, and resilience.
“Dear You”
Tender and intimate, this heartfelt family story is a reminder that the secrets holding a family together aren’t always the ones we know.
“The Sun Never Sets”
Swanberg shows growth as a filmmaker, but his loose approach leaves the film feeling overlong and cluttered with meandering scenes that weaken its emotional impact.
