Fantastic Fest Review: Better Man

Dementia rules the roost in The Rule of Jenny Pen, the opening night film of Fantastic Fest 2024. This New Zealand flick is utterly demented in concept and execution. It earned both best director for James Ashcroft and best actor for star Geoffrey Rush from this year's jury.

Fantastic Fest Review: AJ Goes to the Dog Park

There’s something deeply satisfying about seeing an artist go back to a muse solely because the end result will be so gosh-darned pleasing.
