Red Rooms 2023
Extremely taut and suspenseful, RED ROOMS deals with themes of obsession, paranoia and identity in the barest of ways.

A wonderful little crime/character study film with stunning visuals and disorienting cinematography.
Some really great performances add even more of a sense of eerie mystery.

Poor Things 2023
While not the strongest film in his career, Yorgos Lanthimos has crafted an exceptional combination of fairy tale magical realism and silly absurdity. Filled with dramatic angles, lens changes, and sprawling, colorful sets, the film shows a world that is familiar but still different from our own. Emma Stone has never been better, creating a character initially confused, and eventually irritated by, the strange absurdities of human behavior (in particular, masculinity and capitalism) with delightfully weird and hilarious performances by…
