✨ four favorite films of 2024 so far:

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

The answers that Peacock's #TEACUP doles out are a lot less interesting than the questions. Read @OneBigWiggle's review. https://t.co/if4qix6g2R

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

Hulu's #LaMaquina boasts the same relentless energy as Gael García Bernal’s eponymous boxer. Read @OneBigWiggle's review. https://t.co/OHXr5XEqnm

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

The particulars of time travel in Michael Felker’s lo-fi sci-fi thriller THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT give the whole thing a tactile quality. Read @OneBigWiggle's review. https://t.co/0kwT4WJD5q

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

It quickly becomes clear that Greg Jardin’s IT'S WHAT'S INSIDE isn’t just here to dazzle us with visual trickery. Read @OneBigWiggle's review. https://t.co/ubGbkKkpQQ

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

In THE OUTRUN, Saoirse Ronan delivers a performance that’s rawer and rougher at the edges than perhaps anything else the actor has done to date. Read @OneBigWiggle's review. https://t.co/QxX1ZEK8Ej

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

#FightNight uses a criminal case from 50 years ago to explore a critical moment in U.S. history. Read @OneBigWiggle's review.

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

#ThePerfectCouple delights in both concealing and revealing its characters' secrets. Read @OneBigWiggle's review. https://t.co/POh1yp7LfY

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

As promised by its title, Guillem Morales’s thriller THE WASP, starring Naomie Harris and Natalie Dromer, is a film with a stinger in its tail. Read @OneBigWiggle's review. https://t.co/ZNJGwDur8C

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

Zoë Kravitz’s BLINK TWICE somehow manages to show its hand too early while also playing its cards too close to its chest. Read @OneBigWiggle's review. https://t.co/PqGWEkYyrt

[The Skinny @theskinnymag]

As @edfilmfest wraps up, a batch of EIFF reviews from us, including FIVE STARS for @AbdolrezaKahani's A Shrine

The cunningly devised STRANGE DARLING wields our assumptions against us like a sharp implement. Read @OneBigWiggle's review. https://t.co/HkEgafX9PQ

[Ross McIndoe @OneBigWiggle]

Netflix now so desperate for IP that they're adapting the fake books Roman Roy makes up at dinner parties.

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

The Russo Brothers’ ‘THE ELECTRIC STATE,’ starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, will premiere on Netflix on March 2025.

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

In THE OUTRUN, Saoirse Ronan delivers a performance that’s rawer and rougher at the edges than perhaps anything else the actor has done to date. Read @OneBigWiggle's #GFF25 review. https://t.co/QxX1ZEK8Ej

[Ross McIndoe @OneBigWiggle]

Also liking the credits. I am a mononym now, like Madonna or Shrek.

[Ross McIndoe @OneBigWiggle]

Got to work on a very cool, Alien-themed essay for Wisecrack this month. It's all about how life is meaningless and the universe hates you specifically :)

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

BLUE SUN PALACE’s tale is filled with quiet spaces, and the way the texture of this quiet changes over the course of the film is a testament to its power. Read @OneBigWiggle's #EIFF review. https://t.co/1WuUKKOC66

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

James Marsh's DANCE FIRST seems content to merely adapt the “Personal Life” section of Samuel Beckett’s Wikipedia page. Read @OneBigWiggle's review. https://t.co/uJgSA5q2Oj

@CarmenChloie Happy Birthday! I'm very pro-30s so far. 30s seem very chill.
