Fantastic Fest: The Autopsy of Jane Doe

The human body is not a miracle. It is a puzzle to be solved, and nowhere more so than on the coroner's slab. The Autopsy of Jane Doe presents the cadaver as conundrum, but the fiendish answer is one the cutters may not want to know.

Fantastic Fest Review: Aloys

Swiss writer-director Tobias Nölle’s debut feature Aloys weaves in and out of subterranean levels of loneliness in looking for a human connection. This psychological drama puts a private investigator, played with great effect by Georg Friedrich (Wild), behind the magnifying glass he’s rigorously fought to stay in front of.

Fantastic Fest Review: The Young Offenders

For the last few years, Irish cinema has been synonymous with horror. Yet for a good couple of decades, the Emerald Isle was the go-to destination for witty and playful satires, and The Young Offenders is a charming return for Irish comedy.

Fantastic Fest Review: We Are the Flesh

Few terms are so ill-interchanged as immoral and amoral. The former takes glee in transgression, the latter refutes the very notion of values. For Mexican psychological horror We Are the Flesh, the question is whether the twisted purity of amorality is ever really possible.

Fantastic Fest Review: My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea

Do you miss MTV's Liquid Television? Are you still scarred from high school? Or do you just think James Cameron’s Titanic could’ve used more sharks? Then Fantastic Fest has good news: Comic book artist/writer turned writer/director, Dash Shaw, brought his debut feature, My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea, to Austin.

Fantastic Fest Review: Age of Shadows

Quality espionage thrillers – especially those rooted in patriotism – purposefully convolute, only to be stripped and spun down to a base: a handful of altruistic truths.
