  Fantasy Life 2025

  ★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  I’m confused how something as commonplace or average as this made the festival? Comes nowhere near being anything unique and falls well short of the charm of the other SXSW 2025 rom-com “Baltimorons.” The more I think about this film the more I feel like I wasted 90 minutes of my life.

  Flight 149: Hostage Of War 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Love how this was shot like it was a more stylized version of an Air Disasters episode. This documentary is beautifully made and tells a story so many have forgotten or are simply unaware of. Those are the kind of docs that SXSW is looking for. Can’t wait to read the book by the main investigator from the film .

  It Ends 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  The type of film SXSW is all about. Truly independent and full of up-and-coming talent. This film manages its complete 180 tone change with expert subtlety. The ending may leave some feeling unfulfilled but for many it will feel spot on…me included.
