‘Fitting In’ Trailer: Maddie Ziegler & D’Pharoah Woon-A-Tai Star In A Coming-Of-Age “Traumedy”

Growing up is hard, but growing up with MRKH syndrome (a rare reproductive condition that causes an underdeveloped uterus) is bloody hell. That’s the premise of upcoming coming-of-age movie “Fitting In” tackles, where Maddie Ziegler‘s teen Lindy discovers she has the condition, and it makes everything — be it her body, her sexual identity, her relationship with her mom — that much more complicated.

Lukas Gage has racked up a bunch of buzzy roles in film and TV recently, including “The White Lotus,” “You,” and “How To Blow Up A Pipeline.” But his next project to hit theaters is partially his own: a sex comedy he stars in and co-writes that premiered at SXSW earlier this year. “Down Low” features Gage as a sex worker who’s determined to give a Zachary Quinto‘s recent divorcée exactly what he needs to kick off the newly single life, whether that deeply repressed guys want it or not.

Watching “Beef,” the new series from longtime writer Lee Sung Jin produced by A24, is like observing a trainwreck. Only, instead of it being an accident that seems to come out of nowhere, two different drivers are operating separate locomotives hurtling toward each other.

‘Joy Ride’ Review: Adele Lim’s Raunchy Comedy Is An Instant Crowd-Pleaser [SXSW]

When it comes to R-rated comedies, no other film festival can hold a candle to SXSW. The Austin-based film festival is often the jumping-off point for some of the year’s highest-profile comedies; previous premieres have included films like “Knocked Up,” “21 Jump Street,” “Keanu,” and the work-in-progress debut of “Bridesmaids.” This means a stop at SXSW is an absolute no-brainer for any film resulting from the Judd Apatow producing tree.

‘Upon Entry’ Review: An Immigrant Couple’s Relationship Is Torn To Shreds In This Captivating Psychological Drama [SXSW]

“Please follow me.” With just three simple, courteous words, the lives of Diego and Elena are forever changed in the psychological drama “Upon Entry.” And after those three words are uttered early on in the suspenseful, methodical film by directors Alejandro Rojas and Juan Sebastián Vásquez, the tension only increases with each passing moment.

‘You Can Call Me Bill’ Review: Alexandre O. Phillippe’s Can’t Really Unpack The Complicated Enigma Of William Shatner In New Doc [SXSW]

After having explored George Lucas, David Lynch, Hitchcock, and even William Friedkin in previous documentaries, Alexandre O. Phillippe turns his attention towards an unlikely subject, William Shatner, in his newest film, “You Can Call Me Bill.” Framed around a free-associative conversation with the famed actor, Phillipe’s new documentary might be catnip for any Trekkie but also represents something of a regression after the filmmaker’s probing “Lynch/Oz” last year.  Continue reading ‘You Can Call Me Bill’ Review: Alexandre O.

‘Caterpillar’ Review: Liza Mandelup’s Engaging New Doc Opens Our Eyes To The Endless Struggle To Be Seen [SXSW]

Filmmaker Liza Mandelup can make the promise of social media feel like a dream. In her feature debut, “Jawline,” she toggled back and forth between an established social media content farmhouse and a 14-year-old Tennessee upstart who struggles valiantly at breaking onto the live stream scene, both narratives reflecting and refracting each other.

The “Evil Dead” series continues with “Evil Dead Rise,” fresh off its world premiere at SXSW in Austin earlier this week. The Playlist’s critic didn’t like Lee Cronin‘s new installment (read our review here), but others elsewhere have, which bodes well for the film’s theatrical release next month.

‘Evil Dead Rise’ Review: Lee Cronin’s Take On Sam Raimi’s Classic Horror Franchise Is A Witless Slog, Tangentially Related At Best [SXSW]

Lee Cronin’s “Evil Dead Rise” calls to mind those items we used to read before every “Die Hard” sequel, about how each had begun its life as a completely different story having nothing to do with “Die Hard” that was hastily re-written into another John McClane movie. That is not, as far as I know, the origin story of this “Evil Dead” sequel.

‘Wild Life’ Review: The Directors Of ‘Free Solo’ Craft A Heartfelt Tribute To The Conservationists Behind Patagonia, The North Face & Esprit [SXSW]

Married in 2013, while Oscar-winning filmmakers Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin both had been making and shooting films before they met (Chin, “Reel Rock 7,” Vasarhelyi, “Youssou Ndour: I Bring What I Love“), the power of their collaborative work was instantaneous. 2015’s breathtaking high stakes “Meru” was one of the most harrowing mountain climbing docs ever made up until that point, and they managed to somehow even one-up it with their Oscar-winning doc, the vertiginous and death-defying “Free Solo.” READ MORE: SXSW 2023 Preview: 25 Must-See Film & TV Projects To Watch Since then, the duo has turned their love for the outdoors, the environment and landscape, and their innate curiosity about the natural world into some riveting documentaries, many of them fueled by the same ticking-clock adrenaline of “Meru” and “Free Solo” (see 2021’s Thai Cave rescue doc, “The Rescue”).

‘I Used To Be Funny’ Review: Rachel Sennott Shines In A Narratively Tricky Seriocomic Drama [SXSW]

Rachel Sennott is ideally cast in the leading role of Ally Pankiw’s “I Used to Be Funny” because this is a character who sort of can’t help but make you laugh, even without trying, even in tremendously difficult situations. Her name is Sam, and she’s a stand-up comedienne (“Like a comedian, but a girl!” she explains, cheerfully), and you see why.

‘Louder Than You Think’ Review: Pavement’s Former Drummer, Gary Young, Gets His Filthy and Delightfully Quirky Day in the Sun [SXSW]

“I took LSD 375 times.” These are the first words said in “Louder than You Think” by subject Gary Young — drummer, producer, drunkard, and all-around enigma, likely best known as being the original drummer for the lo-fi 90’s alternative band, Pavement. The words, accompanied by the image of Young as he appears now, are all you need to understand the kind of documentary you’re in for – one hell of a strange trip, man.

Marvel may want to worry, though; since everyone is getting into the game, it’s really going to make their universes less special.
