Releasing in select theaters this Fri, HIT THE ROAD is A road trip film that revolutionizes the genre with its long, wide takes that offer a window into this tender family's soul. Panah Panahi's debut is still easily my favorite film of 2022 so far!

In theaters this Friday, #unbearableweightofmassivetalent is a hilarious celebration of not just one of the greatest actors of our generation, but the history of film as a whole. Also, Pedro Pascal steals every scene as the true comedic star he is.

#EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce is gargantuan in scope and plentiful in comedic concepts, but it's the commitment to exploring the power of optimism & family that makes this one of the best sci-fi films of the decade. See it in theaters nationwide today!

With nearly any dialogue or emotional score, COW is a eye-opening & heart-wrenching portrait into the bovine species and the horrifying practices enacted by dairy farmers. If this doesn't make you at least consider going vegan, nothing will.

While RETURN TO SPACE is an uplifting testament of persistency and American ingenuity, it lacks the thrilling cinematic style that one comes to expect from a Jimmy Chin & Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi documentary (FREE SOLO, THE RESCUE).

Reggie Yates' PIRATES is a throwback coming-of-age bromance comedy filled with authentic camaraderie and a expertly curated U.K. Garage soundtrack that will make you want to party like it's 1999 again.

Despite being perceived by Gen Z as tastemakers of "arthouse" film, A24 rarely has a box office smash. However, with its wide-appealing premise and inventive humor for young adult viewers, BODIES BODIES BODIES, is destined to take audiences by storm!

#SXSW2022 Sara Dosa's mesmerizing documentary, FIRE OF LOVE, puts humanity and nature on similar footing as it depicts a love story as epic in passion as the raging volcanoes on display. Its incredible archival footage demands to be seen in a theater.

Radcliffe, Tatum and Bullock are having the time of their lives in adventure comedy, THE LOST CITY. Unfortunately, the inherent talents of the cast are unable to fully rescue the film's banal & unfunny script and milquetoast directing.

APOLLO 10 1/2: A SPACE AGE CHILDHOOD is a beautifully rendered, animated time capsule that marries the naivety of childhood with the hopefulness that surrounded NASA's early space programs.

Jason Kohn's revelatory documentary thriller, NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, is a searing expose on the natural diamond industry and will have you reevaluate your concepts of love, desire, and media manipulation. #SXSW

Nicolas Cage is back (not that he ever left)! #theunbearableweightofmassivetalent is a wonderfully meta tale of male friendship and fatherhood that will pull at your heartstrings as much as it will trigger your funny bone.

@DRockDot Yeah I couldn't write either. Spending the whole plane ride home working on articles. So glad to hear I'm not the only one!

Director Allison Otto's layered documentary THE THIEF COLLECTOR blurs the line between fiction and reality as it delves into the psyches of Jerry and Rita Alter, two mid-western, mild-mannered, world-class thieves.

In Kestrin Pantera's eccentric comedy, PRETTY PROBLEMS, there is such a disconnect between the tired jokes and the wooden actors that you may find yourself laughing out of pity like I did. #SXSW

#SXSW To immerse audiences in the experiences of the visually impaired seems impossible. But Teemu Nikki's The Blind Man Who Did Not Want To See Titanic achieves the impossible by crafting an intimate and eye-opening thriller that is cinematic to its core

Daniels' wildly original sci-fi multiverse epic #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce is gargantuan in scope and plentiful in comedic concepts, but it's the film's commitment to exploring the power of optimism and family that makes truly makes this special #SXSW

While it may copy too many elements from classic genre films, Shawn Levy's time-travel, family adventure flick #TheAdamProject is nevertheless entertaining and perfect for a family night in. Ryan Reynolds gives his best performance since DEADPOOL.

Given that this is the fifth and final week of "Road to SXSW 2022", we would be remiss if we did not highlight any music-centric films. Read our recommendations for PIRATES, LOVER,BELOVED and THIS MUCH I KNOW TO BE TRUE below!
