Genre: Growing up drama
Lead time: 2h 31m
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Throw: Michelle Williams, Paul Dano and Gabriel LaBelle

Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical drama follows Sammy Fabelman (Gabrielle LaBelle), an aspiring young filmmaker who finds stability in film amid the dysfunction of his family life and childhood in post-war Arizona. If this description isn’t enough to entice you, how about a cameo appearance? Twin Peaks creator David Lynch as famed Hollywood star John Ford?

From our review:

At the heart of almost every Steven Spielberg movie is the spirit of a boy who is still saddened by his parents’ divorce and hides his grief in a huge movie sandbox. You can see this child’s pain unconsciously spilling over into the quarreling mom and dad characters from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It emerges in the ET: extraterrestrial family dynamic. And that develops in Catch Me If You Can when Frank Abagnale seeks refuge in his mom’s second family home. But Spielberg never approached his own childhood with the bluntness he did in his semi-autobiographical film Fabelmans, one of the best films of 2022.

Lead time: 1h 37m
Directed by: Michel Garza Cervera
Throw: Natalia Solian, Alfonso Dosal and Maira Batalla

This critically acclaimed horror film from Mexico tells the story of a young mother who is haunted by otherworldly forces.

From our review:

Weser speaks the language of destruction and installation, the way solid structures crack under pressure – the wood of sturdy furniture, the bones of an animal eaten for its flesh, the expectation of a future mother. Mighty hands tear these things away from their intended purpose. IN WeserValeria is both the hands of an artisan and his medium: she screams in agony as her bones bend for misuse, and yet yearns for control to reshape her life into the shape shaped by her desires. Servera made up a fable about motherhood in response to tradition by asking the question: which tradition is the strongest and most inspiring? Catholic rigidity embodied in the sculpture of the Virgin Mary? Witchcraft of women captivated by such ideals? Punks who riot? When someone whose life is in transition is pulled in different directions, the body is transformed and the bones are realigned.

Genre: supernatural horror
Lead time: 1h 36m
Directed by: Lee Cronin
Throw: Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Morgan Davis

The fifth installment in the legendary horror franchise The Evil Dead stars Lily Sullivan (mentally) as Beth, a guitar engineer who decides to visit her ex-sister Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) and her children after learning she’s pregnant. When a massive earthquake shakes the foundations of Ellie’s apartment complex, an ancient evil is unintentionally revealed that threatens to claim the lives of everyone trapped inside the building.

From our review:

The Evil Dead Rise This is a film made by the sick for the sick. It’s a fantastic update to the iconic franchise, filled with humor but bringing Alvarez’s taste for the nasty and frustrating. Refreshing set and cast changes, and Sutherland’s outstanding performance prove that there’s still a lot of life and struggle in this undead franchise.

At 97 brisk minutes it seems like it was over almost as soon as it started. It’s the perfect introductory film for a new audience who’s never seen The Evil Dead, but for longtime fans, it will breathe new air into the classic horror comedy franchise, mixing Raimi’s old school approach with new school creepy horror. This proves that there is still a lot to be painted in the old terms.
