  • “She Dances” Wears Heart on Its Sleeve
    By Robin C. Farrell
    March 28, 2026
    She Dances (Rick Gomez, 2025) 3½ out of 5 Stars A passing glance at the trailer for She Dances and it’s clear that this is a grief story; one that focuses on the avoidance and prolonged aftermath of loss. Through a combination of road-trip hijinks, side quests, competition, and lots and lots of dancing, this is, indeed, a story exploring the necessity of truth in healing, even though it hurts. ... >>
  • SXSW Interview: “The Peril at Pincer Point” Directors Jake Kuhn and Noah Stratton-Twine
    By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
    March 27, 2026
    Directors Jake Kuhn and Noah Stratton-Twine just premiered their latest collaboration, the feature film The Peril at Pincer Point, at the 2026 SXSW Film & TV Festival (where I reviewed it). The story centers around a movie sound recordist, Jim Baitte (Jack Redmayne) who travels to a mysterious island (Pincer Point) to gather audio for a demanding director, on whose latest project he is working. Little does Jim know that fate will conspire to ... >>
  • “Two Prosecutors” Highlights Totalitarian Terror
    By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
    March 26, 2026
    Two Prosecutors (Sergey Loznitsa, 2025) 4½ out of 5 stars In many countries at many times, the human propensity to control and/or kill those who oppose the power structure has waxed and waned in its bloodthirsty intensity. Fascist and totalitarian urges appear to exist within most societies, held at bay when the belief in the rule of law and the agency of ordinary citizens are the prime directives. When a corrupt, populist leader—of which there ... >>
  • Reality Ensues in “Fantasy Life”
    By George W. Campbell
    March 26, 2026
    Fantasy Life (Matthew Shear, 2025) 3½ out of 5 stars There’s an old saying that if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. While it may sound clichéd, it still rings true, especially for the cast of Fantasy Life. Writer/director/star Matthew Shear invites us to a year in the lives of two lonely people in New York’s tight-knit Jewish community. As a feature debut, Fantasy Life is a small-scale but compelling take on searching ... >>
  • SXSW Interview: “Chili Finger” Directors Edd Benda and Stephen Helstad
    By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
    March 24, 2026
    The new comedic thriller Chili Finger just had its world premiere at the 2026 SXSW Film & TV Festival (where I reviewed it). Directed by Edd Benda and Stephen Helstad, the movie follows the misadventures of married couple Jess (Judy Greer) and Ron (Sean Astin) after they discover a finger in their chili at popular Midwestern chain “Blake Junior’s” (owned by an eponymous individual played by John Goodman). Things go south quickly after ... >>
