Killing Romance

Bright, colorful, absolutely bonkers! Unexpected, and a joy. It’ll knock your socks off. This is a must-see with a crowd. It’s good!

The Primevals

Step into a time machine to the era of ’60s adventure films with The Primevals. Restored, pieced together, and completed from the late and great David Allen’s unfinished film, this is an homage to a legend and a wildly fun film to boot. 

Evil Does Not Exist

Ryûsuke Hamaguchi is back, baby! And he has another deeply contemplative narrative for us all, this time on the ecological impacts of thoughtless urbanization. Fun! 

Tiger Stripes

A bold directorial debut about the horrors of being a girl, growing up, and getting your tiger stripes. If you’ve ever been a teen girl, this’ll hit ya right in the gut.

399: Queen of Tetons

I am only human—I see cute bears, I cry, I follow them on Instagram.

I Saw the TV Glow

A stunning sophomore feature for Jane Schoenbrun. For all my folks who have made a TV show or film their entire personality, this one is for you. 

So Unreal

The film about your favorite films. Directed by Amanda Kramer and narrated by Debbie Harry(!!), this is a stellar deep dive into cyberspace films and will take you to places you couldn’t even imagine.
