Best of the Best

Best of the Best

2026 · IndieWire

"Best of the Best" is a giddy and soul-affirming story that smoothly blends modern political satire with the familiar rhythms of classic collegiate drama, delivering a bigger and brighter movie with a clear point of view. Even when it wraps things up a little too conveniently, the film leaves you wanting more and always trusts its spirit to fill the room.

Evil Dead Burn

Evil Dead Burn

2026 · IndieWire · Jul 2026

The organized chaos of French cinema collides with brutal in-law drama in the oddly emotive 'Evil Dead Burn.'

Iron Lung

Iron Lung

2026 · IndieWire · Jan 2026

“Iron Lung” is audacious and at times astonishingly boring. Still, it feels more enthusiastic and celebratory than many blockbuster adaptations built on safer math. Insisting that the mission is bigger than any one person, including its creator, the film opens space for more daring, messy attempts to follow. For indie cinema, that alone may be worth the ordeal… if not, the gallons of blood.
