SXSW Film Review: The Dutchman

Blackness. A title card quotes Carl Jung: “Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” An incessant ticking clock fades in. Lights up. A man, alone, stares blankly, halfway in a slumber. Dialogue cuts in, he snaps into focus, conscious but not present, sleepwalking.

SXSW Film Review: Good Boy

It’s a moment that’s universal to all pet owners: the way an empty corner or blank wall can grab your furry friend’s attention. The mind races at what could be happening there. Good Boy takes the idea and runs with it, creating a charming twist on the haunted house film.

The Gen X movie canon is well-known: Slacker, Singles, the Before trilogy, Grosse Pointe Blank, and so on. SXSW Narrative Competition feature Fantasy Life – about a nervous, 35-year old manny who falls for his 52-year old boss – is an interesting addition to the roster.

SXSW Film Review: O'Dessa

From the opening frames of O’Dessa, writer-director Geremy Jasper (Patti Cake$) makes it clear: This is going to be big, loud, and drenched in neon. The post-apocalyptic rock opera aims to be a modern retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice, but despite the visuals and charm, its deeper allegory is a stretch.

SXSW Film Review: Death of a Unicorn

Once upon a time, a lawyer and his daughter hit a baby unicorn in a Canadian preserve. Taking a cue from RFK Jr., they toss it in the trunk and head to his billionaire boss’ retreat. Where there’s magical purple blood, there’s money to be made, and soon it’s Shark Tank meets Grimms Fairy Tales.
