REVIEWS
Brilliantly cast and conceived, Widow’s Bay features an adorably awkward, wholly endearing ensemble. While comedy often functions on the use of stereotypes for quick laughs, Widow’s Bay serves up each small town horror trope with extra sauce.
But the most impressive part of Leviticus is that it doesn’t pretend the shame or fear start and end. There is not a full stop. There is no natural conclusion to hurtle toward. And there is no definitive expiration on the tension queer people feel all their lives.
Harris perfectly blends the silly with the sinister, crafting unique and quirky characters that provide moments for off-hand situational comedy but also slowly grow the dark cloud that is their father. By the time his face graces the screen in the final act, his reputation precedes him.
INTERVIEWS
Ahead of its screening at South by Southwest 2026, we had the chance to speak with Director Renée Marie Petropoulos and Producer Yingna Lu on their insight into the Souvenir’s depiction of boundaries in relationships and uncomfortable power dynamics.
Through tight acting, eerily realistic practical effects, and a suspenseful climax, the film is a graphic depiction of the dangers plastic poses even more now that it’s inside of us. We sat with Director Guy Trevellyan and Actress Anna Popplewell to discuss these themes.
With decisive visuals, fantastic performances, and a genre-defying story, The Things You Kill is a brilliant dissection of masculinity, patriarchal inheritance, and cyclical violence. We had a chance to sit down with the writer-director to untangle the film’s themes and explore how his background as a self-described man between nations contributed to their development.
