THE FATED HOUR (Fantasia 2026) Haunting short

Posted on July 30, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

THE FATED HOUR

Based on “The Relationship with the Spirit-World” by Friedrich Laun, filmmaker Peter Hengl‘s Fantasia 2026 atmospheric period short THE FATED HOUR begins in Austria, 1810. Florentine recounts her deceased sister’s supernatural predilections to her fiancé, ultimately warning him of her potential impending destiny.

Seraphine was gifted or afflicted with telepathy, astral projection, and an overwhelming melancholy air. Her inexplicable connection to the spirit world and her ability to receive messages from beyond create a rather chilling existence in 1810. But Florentine’s eternal love for her sister reigns supreme.

Costumes are beautiful. The camerawork, editing, and candlelit rooms lend to a haunting atmosphere. Every aspect of production is divine. Alina Schaller is incredibly compelling as Florentine. You truly hang on every word. Fanny Altenburger, who also provides stunning songwriting and vocals for the film, is mesmerizing as Seraphine, with an ethereal aura.

THE FATED HOUR delves into grief, the indescribable bond between sisters, and even believing women. It’s a genre delight, and extra delicious for us bookish, gothic-loving girlies to get lost in.

NIGHTBORN (Fantasia 2026) Motherhood is a beast.

Posted on July 23, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

NIGHTBORN

Filmmaker Hanna Bergholm brings Fantasia 2026 audiences a twisted tale of motherhood and Finnish folk horror in NIGHTBORN. Newlywed couple Saga and Jon arrive at Saga’s childhood home in Finland. It is an enchanting, if not slightly spooky, house hidden deep in the eerily shaped woods. Following the birth of their son, motherhood proves challenging when Saga suspects her child is not like other babies.

Written by Ilja Rautsi and Bergholm, the script cleverly combines tropes, such as the language barrier, with the real-life, unfiltered physical horrors of birth and motherhood. Unless you’ve experienced the very real blood, sweat, and tears that Saja goes through in the first 15 minutes of the film, one might think they are exaggerated.

The emotional exhaustion of being another creature’s lifeblood is often overwhelming. The constant realization that survival depends on your every moment of attention can be too much. Family members try to help, but can unintentionally make things worse. Rautsi and Bergholm play upon a mother’s inherent instincts. They give Saga enhanced hearing and a supernatural connection to the surrounding woods.

On the other hand, Rautsi and Bergholm give her family members a deep loathing for Saga that the audience does not relate to. These jarring revelations make the viewer question reality even further, as we have no basis for these accusations. Stories from her childhood, as told by her mother and sister, present as nasty. But are they true? We never know.

Production design is extraordinary. Beyond the forest’s gnarled humanoid likeness, the nursery is a mix of gothic whimsy one might see in Architectural Digest. Any 90s witchy tween will be in heaven at the sight of each carefully curated element. Practical effects are beautifully gagworthy. Yes. Yes. Yes. Birth is a miracle, blah, blah, blah, but it’s almost visceral and revolting. Anyone who tells you different is a damn liar. Talk to me after you have a C-section, thank you very much.

Rupert Grint is a proud father and fish out of water as Jon. Grint does his best impression of calm and supportive while clearly flailing in fear and helplessness. Grint has become a genre icon, ironically in stories revolving around “special” children. Seidi Haarla is sheer perfection as a mother on the verge of insanity. Her feral performance is the stuff of cinematic dreams. Along the lines of Inde Navarrette in Obsession, women in horror earn every ounce of respect and need to be called out for their vulnerability and badassery. Bravo Seidi.

We do not see Kuura’s face for 99% of the film, sneakily adding to the contextual weight. The audience feels the dizzying gaslighting and emotional state of Saga. Rautsi and Bergholm give audiences a lived-in authenticity of outside judgment and sacrifices of a mother. NIGHTBORN is a genre-inspired manifestation of nature vs nurture. Mothers will do anything for their offspring.

Synopsis

With dreams of starting a perfect family, Saga (Seidi Haarla, Compartment No. 6) and her British husband Jon (Rupert Grint, Knock at the Cabin) move to the isolated house where she spent much of her childhood, deep in the Finnish forest. But as soon as their baby is born, despite the reassurance of all around her, Saga knows there’s something terribly wrong with her son. As their marriage starts to crack, Jon struggles to support his wife, but only Saga suspects the terrible truth about her newborn.

From the director of Hatching, NIGHTBORN is a visceral, gripping and terrifying dark fable about motherhood and unconditional maternal love.

GODHEAD (Fantasia 2026) A shocking sophomore feature

Posted on July 22, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

GODHEAD

HIPPO filmmaker Mark H. Rapaport brings his shocking sophomore creation to Fantasia 2026 audiences. GODHEAD follows a small-town priest with a secret. When a mysterious pair of twins dressed in white tracksuits appear in the church, they task Father with deciding which of them is the Holy Spirit.

Al Warren plays Father with an even-keeled temperament that is unnerving. Warren’s performance subconsciously splits the audience’s attention with our understanding that our priest has villainous tendencies. Right outside the walls of the church, he is holding a young boy, once abandoned on the church’s doorstep, captive with tales of an apocalyptic outside world. Matthew exists in an environment entirely curated to keep him afraid and controlled. Locked in his room after hours of bible stories, forced to listen to cassette tapes of chaotic audio playing just beneath his window. But, in truth, his flaws could not be darker.

Sarah Coffey and Kimball Farley deliver jarring physical performances, leaning into the idea that they are otherworldly. As First Born, Coffey speaks with unwavering assuredness. Each moment is powerful and intense. Coffey’s appearance from the neck up is one of a 90s raver kid, making her all the more intriguing as it visually counters the messaging. As Second Born, Farley gives a neurodivergent presenting performance that is pure and immaculate chaos. As a parent of AuDHD children, it is a meticulously accurate portrayal. Both bless us with award-worthy turns.

The original score from Austin Feinstein and Kenny Kusiak wavers between unsettling and ethereal. As with HIPPO, the film is shot in crisp black-and-white by William Tracy Babcock. The camerawork matches the unpredictability of the script, melding closeups, odd angles, and powerful framing to subvert our expectations.

If you grew up in a household that sat along the line of Christianity, you would catch the immense impact of the iconography and actions surrounding the care (or lack thereof) in handling and depicting certain objects and events. 24 minutes into the film, the audience understands the narrative gravity in GODHEAD.

As what those still in the church would call a Lapsed Catholic, or as my mother jokingly refers to my siblings and me as heathens, experiencing this story unfold had me captivated. Regardless of religious affiliation, the debates in the film will undoubtedly have audiences talking. If this film does not burrow into your brain, you aren’t paying attention.

Rapaport challenges viewers to examine the construct of good and evil; to study the effects of indoctrination and fanaticism in a world existing between truth and fiction. GODHEAD is a wild ride, and inarguably one of the most brilliantly complex films of the year.

English language, 98 minutes

Dir. Mark H. Rapaport

HOME BODIES

Red (Emma Ho, CODE 8, THE EXPANSE) and Blue (Ian Ho, THE EXPANSE, CHAPELWAITE) live a “Waiting for Godot” existence within the confines of a retro, automated dwelling. Food is always available, they are entertained by VHS tapes of a show called “Barn” starring a cow, a pig, and a chicken, and soothed by each other’s company. They report to Papa, a disembodied voice through a locked door that enforces the rules they live by. On a holiday that resembles Christmas, they receive a gift: Pal (Ess Hödlmoser, THE BOYS, STATION ELEVEN), an androgynous humanoid who doesn’t speak, and follows their lead. But Pal isn’t as benign as they seem. Pal also receives VHS tapes, but they are more disturbing, and Red, who was once wary of her new friend, becomes more enamoured of their expressionless new roommate. As Red and Blue learn about Pal, their discoveries soon drive a wedge between them. With vibes of Canadian genre classics PIN and CUBE, HOME BODIES is a surreal look at control, autonomy, nature vs. nurture, and the automation of our lives.

THE GLORIOUS DEAD

A small-town sheriff (Toby Poser) and her young deputy (Zelda Adams) wake to find the world they believed in no longer exists. Blood drips from faucets, people and pets are missing, and fleshy creatures walk the woods. Soon, the dirt can’t keep the dead down. Anger and fear spread through the community. Co-written and co-directed by John Adams and Toby Poser, the latter of whom also stars, and co-starring Zelda and Lulu Adams, THE GLORIOUS DEAD is a personal genre vision that speaks to the increasing horrors of American life in times of enormous, instigated division while retaining the interpersonal poetry, imagination, and dark humor that its creators are renowned for. This will be the sixth consecutive work from the singularly talented filmmaking family to World Premiere at Fantasia following the festival’s launches of THE DEEPER YOU DIG, HELLBENDER, WHERE THE DEVIL ROAMS, HELL HOLE, and MOTHER OF FLIES, the latter having won our 2025 Cheval Noir Award for Best Feature. In their words: “This film takes dangerous fundamentalism at face value and asks what remains for the rest of us.” World Premiere.

TENDER (DWF LA 2026) The long and clever con

Posted on June 29, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

TENDER

Filmmaker Adam Hoelzel delivers a twisted directorial debut at DWF LA 2026 Closing Night film. In TENDER, after coming up with a non-starter scheme to leave his wife and start fresh with his mistress, both Mick and Billie find a way out of their mess after stumbling upon a gold brick in the walls of their house. Billie quietly begins to search the house for more. When they hit the jackpot, it comes with some complicated terms.

Each bar has a UV mark, so selling it outright is not an option. Finding legal loopholes and roping in those around is a carefully choreographed dance between two people who now supposedly hate each other. Paranoia and crossed wires force Mick and Billie to adapt. But an additional player reframes their complex plans.

Jesse Garcia plays Mick with an overconfident air, perfect for the plan the audience knows is insane. Jess Weixler, who plays Billie and also serves as the film’s narrator, is magnificent. She steals every moment on screen with her take-no-shit attitude. I fell in love with Weixler in Chained For Life. Her chameleon abilities are a director’s dream.

Phillip J. McLaughlin‘s editing absolutely delights in establishing the passage of time and the initial plot point in the film’s opening. But, like the entirety of Tender, get ready for a long con. Heolzel sells us the illusion hook, line, and sinker. Tender is a complex cat-and-mouse game. If you can follow the truth, you’re quicker than I am. Well played to everyone involved. I’ve been had.

WRITER/DIR: Adam Hoelzel
PRODS: Sofia Rovaletti, Sonja O’Hara, Farrell Ingle, Theo Bucksey, Michael K. Dwyer, Corey Moosa, Roy Hsu, Grayson Hay
CAST: Jess Weixler, Jesse Garcia, David Koechner, Shakira Barrera, Sonja O’Hara, Robert Longstreet,
Mark St. Cyr, Stephen Ellis

After inheriting a modest house in a dying town, Billie and Mick believe they’ve finally found stability, until crushing debt, old resentments, and a shocking discovery buried within their walls threaten to tear them apart. As the couple is forced into a dangerous alliance to protect their future, Tender becomes a darkly intimate portrait of marriage under pressure, where love, money, and survival blur into something unrecognizable.

Lady Puritan (DWF LA 2026) A striking generational reckoning

Posted on June 25, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

Lady Puritan

Filmmakers Gustine Füdickar and Justin Streichman‘s DWF LA 2026 short film Lady Puritan will blow your mind. The story follows Meredith, a woman experiencing intense nightmares and excruciating physical pain. Upon the recommendation of a spiritual guide, Meredith undergoes a reckoning of past, present, and future.

Streichman’s editing is a wonder. A hallucinatory journey that makes sense even when it shouldn’t. The close-up work of flora is creepily unnerving. It immediately draws the eye to the smallest bits of decay. The unsettling nature of the film, no pun intended, ramps up tenfold from there.

Visually stunning, Füdickar and Streichman tease audiences with what must be a nod to Andrew Wyeth‘s 1948 painting, Christina’s World. If you know anything about art, the choice is simply brilliant. Throughout the film, particularly in the opening and closing credits, there are microscopic slides of what appear to be butterfly wings, adding an entirely new level of metaphor and a metamorphosis angle. Regardless of their specifics, the impact is astounding.

Füdickar’s physical work is exquisite, between fear, wrath, manic energy, and acceptance. You cannot walk away unchanged by this performance. All the building blocks are there for a feature. Lady Puritan is truly haunting. It manages to land squarely between terror and sensuality. It is a visual personification of feminine rage and generational trauma. For any audience member embracing their witchy era, this short will have you shaking with excitement.

Lady Puritan Dances with Films Site

WRITERS/DIRS: Gustine Füdickar & Justin Streichman
PROD: Justin Streichman
CAST: Gustine Füdickar, Dorothy Dubrule, Stacy Dawson Stearns

As dream life bleeds into waking reality, a woman haunted by her Puritan ancestor must confront the terror buried deep within her bloodline. Through ritual and violent trial of the body, she fractures the veil between worlds and is thrown into a fight for her life. Lady Puritan is a surreal psychological meditation on ancestral trauma and the intimate horror of what we are born carrying. Set against the shadow of American Puritanism, the film explores the tension between repression and embodied desire.

THE REVERB

In the DWF LA 2026 series pilot, The Reverb, young college student Cassie unexpectedly reunites with her estranged best friend and famous indie band member when Aaron shows up on her doorstep late one night. Waking up to discover Aaron has been connected to the death of the band’s lead singer, Cassie must decide whether to trust her friend.

Filmmaking sisters Jordan and Janie Ruttert have set the stage for mystery with a young cast and drips of information. The Reverb pilot definitely left me wanting more. It is a solid teaser for a more fleshed-out story. It’s giving Pretty Little Liars vibes.

Mari Blake gives Cassie authentic ferocity that plays more like a documentary than a performance. You can see each beat transform her words and actions. She is simply spectacular. The Reverb could definitely benefit from a bigger budget, but Mari Blake is the Ruttert sisters’ golden ticket.

THE REVERB is a Y/A murder mystery that centers around the turbulent friendship, or rather ex-friendship, between Cassie, a young college student, and Aaron Blake, lead guitarist for the renowned indie rock band Entourage. Trouble follows Cassie home when Aaron mysteriously appears at her front door seeking refuge for the night. When she learns that Aaron is rumored to be linked to the murder of his bandmate and lead singer of Entourage, Skye Thomas, Cassie must decide whether to believe Aaron, despite their many years apart, or fight to uncover the truth.

HEKLA (DWF LA 2026) An actor’s life for me!

Posted on June 23, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

HEKLA

Filmmaker Michael Glover Smith co-writes the DWF LA 2026 feature HEKLA with star Elizabeth Stam. It follows a day in the life (and the mind) of a Chicago actress.

Wendy Robie‘s narration elevates the already mesmerizing structure. The black-and-white cinematography creates a stark visual juxtaposition against the color of Hekla’s theatrical storytelling moments. The costumes and direct eye contact with the camera create a stunning snapshot into Hekla’s talent and confident psyche.

Stam’s physical chaos, like carrying an open ceramic mug on the L, matches perfectly with a life in the arts. The parallels between the meta script and the screenplay are fantastic. The audience gets a peek into Hekla’s freshly broken-off relationship as she delivers monologues and songs during her various auditions. It speaks directly to the creative process and motivation during a performance. Stam and Smith delve into the irony of desiring a career as a successful actor. Once anonymity fades, everything changes.

Elizabeth is fantastic. In whatever character she is playing, you cannot take your eyes off her. She is a true chameleon. HEKLA is undeniably compelling in both visual style and storytelling. Anyone who has dipped their toe in the industry will connect with the film instantly. Smith and Stam deliver all the anxiety, whimsy, and reality of living your dreams.

WRITERS: Michael Glover Smith & Elizabeth Stam
DIR: Michael Glover Smith
PRODS: Aaron Wertheimer, Michael Glover Smith, Elizabeth Stam
CAST: Elizabeth Stam, Wendy Robie, Mary Tilden, Brookelyn Hebert

HEKLA is a comedy-drama about the emotional cost of pursuing a creative life. Hekla, a determined Chicago actress, races through auditions, breakups, and self-doubt, risking her heart and career to claim her voice and step fully into the artist and woman she’s meant to be. Set over one day in Chicago, the film explores how ambition, identity, and vulnerability collide when you’re chasing something as personal, and uncertain, as an acting career. Beneath the humor and dramatic momentum lies a story about the importance of showing up for yourself, even if the world isn’t clapping for you yet.

YALE (DWF LA 2026) Based on an astounding true story

Posted on June 22, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

YALE

Jay Silverman‘s Dances With Film LA feature, YALE, opens this festival edition. Mackenzie’s unresolved childhood trauma manifests as alcoholism and a successful but unfulfilling writing career. After an altercation with a fan leads her to another arrest, her already strained relationship with her ailing son becomes way more complicated. Ryan needs a kidney transplant, forcing Mack to track down her estranged father. What begins as a transactional relationship develops into a meeting of the minds, a hashing out of past wounds, family secrets, and a connection neither expects.

Based on the wild true story of writer Van Billet‘s maternal grandfather, the screenplay explores cyclical trauma with authentic heart and laughs. Mack quickly realizes how disconnected she is from Ryan. Yale’s jokes are simultaneously funny and eyeroll-inducing. But the depth lies within the sadness and unfathomable reality of Yale Parker.

The similarities between Mac and Yale are narrative heaven. In their cynical back-and-forth, they both treat truth like an inconvenience and deeply care about Ryan. Together, they navigate the crappy hand they’ve been dealt by chasing down a kidney.

Rachel Harris plays Mac’s literary agent and only friend, Susan. Any time we see her, it immediately elevates the project. Benjamin Mackey gives Ryan a wonderful spunk, easily holding his own alongside the adults.

Kevin Dunn makes Yale a fully fleshed-out and terribly charming guy. He manages to be lovable through a laundry list of bad behaviors. Caitlin McGee is undeniably grounded, bouncing off Dunn like an absolute pro. She has a Kate Walsh look and energy. She genuinely owns every beat. Dunn and McGee have fabulous chemistry. They are incredible scene partners.

Billet’s script delivers a nuanced take on generational trauma, desperation, and eventually a father-daughter road movie. There is so much meat on the bone, Yale could easily translate into an entire series. DWF LA 2026 audiences are in for quite a ride.

WRITER: Van Billet
DIR: Jay Silverman
PRODS: Jay Silverman, Bethany Cerrona, Ian Christian Blanche, Kevin Dunn, Joe Gamache
CAST: Caitlin McGee, Kevin Dunn, Rachael Harris, Benjamin Mackey, Dominic Leeder

Based on a true story about a troubled woman who must confront her deadbeat father who abandoned her as a child as the last ditch effort to find a donor kidney for her dying son.

TEMPEST (DWF LA 2026) A Gripping Journey Through Grief and Parallel Realities

Posted on June 19, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

TEMPEST

The first fifteen minutes of Gregory J. Green‘s DWFLA 2026 film TEMPEST have no dialogue. The plot rolls out on a stormy night against Brendon Cassidy’s beautifully whimsical score. Five years after the death of her son, successful maritime artist Miranda exists mired in grief, in a waning marriage where communication is barely viable. After accidentally triggering a dimensional shift and experiencing a taste of another life, Miranda cannot stop herself from exploring what she believes might be the answer to all her wishes.

Visually captivating, DP Kody Newton immediately differentiates between dimensions by using different lens colors. Sad Miranda’s world is constantly overcast, while her other self exists in a warm light. Slowly, the audience discovers the physical and emotional differences. Scott Campbell‘s stellar production design plays an intrinsic role.

Tempest Miranda (Erica Piccininni) cries in anguish

Performances are fabulous. Each actor plays a dual role, and they are distinct, vibrant, and nuanced. Our Miranda, Erica Piccininni, is a star. She brings such grace and vulnerability to both women. You can see the wheels turning, and you want to be a part of every beat.

The writing is clever. Writer Garry Williams juxtaposes scenes in both dimensions. Fans of the television series Sliders and the film Sliding Doors will adore this. If you are not either crying or contemplating life halfway through TEMPEST, check your pulse. Through themes of grief, marriage, and healing, TEMPEST is an extraordinary journey through the ever-present “what-ifs,” and a stunning reminder to be grateful and kind to ourselves.

TEMPEST Trailer:

WRITER: Garry Williams

DIR: Gregory J. Green

PROD: David Weisenberg

CAST: Erica Piccininni, Josh Bywater, Jacob Buster, Allison Pistorious

Miranda may be a successful artist, but her life and marriage are in ruins. One hopeless night, lightning flashes, dimensions shift, and Miranda is overjoyed to find herself in a parallel world where none of her heartbreaks exist. But this new life crumbles when the alternate Miranda, whose own world has been usurped, starts desperately trying to return.

Stacey Sargeant‘s Tribeca 2026 short film Stand Clear ‘ the Closing Doors is an absolutely genius illustration of intrusive thoughts. This is a quintessential New York story in every single way.

It takes guts to thrive, hell even exist, in the city. We’ve all pushed past people to get off a train, moved cars because of a smell, and cried on the train at any given hour of the day. While Stand Clear ‘ the Closing Doors is a universal snapshot of public transportation, it is also one of humanity and connection found every minute in the melting pot of culture and stories in the greatest city in the world.

Thoughtfully shot by Timothy Naylor, if you are a local, you feel like you’re placed right next to Sargeant. She has managed to produce a living, breathing sense memory on film. Simultaneously funny, infuriating, and deeply moving, I cannot wait to see more from her.

‘Switch’ (Tribeca 2026 short) Sexy shenanigans are only the beginning

Posted on June 12, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

SWITCH

In the Tribeca 2026 television series Switch, two eager and very different women begin a relationship. Maxine is pragmatic and slightly guarded. Lena is full-speed-ahead passionate. Together, they perfectly balance each other. To ramp up the already existing spice, they deep dive into their sexual fantasies. Agreeing that labels are so passe, and since neither desires to remain monogamous for life, the search for a man to have a threesome with is officially on.

Sexy shenanigans ensue as each potential partner has his flaws. But Naxine and Lena will be damned if they don’t keep trying.

Coral Peña is charming, sarcastic, and quirky as Maxine. Pauline Chalamet is intense but sweet playing Lena. Their chemistry is genuinely fun. They share an authentic comic timing, the kind that comes when you’re actual friends or lovers. Writers and creators Isabelle Platt and Sofya Levitsky-Weitz deliver an equally sexy, funny, and appropriately cringeworthy series. I want more, no matter how awkward.

‘Cotton Fever’ (Tribeca 2026) Best Narrative Feature & Cinematography winner proves heartbreakingly real

Posted on June 12, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

Cotton Fever

Daniel Blake Schwartz‘s very personal Tribeca 2026 drama Cotton Fever explores the trappings of addiction. The film follows the lives of interconnected drug users in Massachusetts.

Dealer James and his pregnant girlfriend Dina hope to move into a proper apartment. Homeless and addicted couple Sam and Manny chase the next high with petty crime. Akil’s motivation is his brother’s near misses with overdosing. Each one has the hope of a better tomorrow, despite the odds stacked against them.

Ari Mora and Chabely Ponce are spectacular together, playing Manny and Sam. Their mix of survival and enamored love is a fascinating study.

Colton Osorio gives teen dealer Harley the precise innocence and streetwise fearlessness that proves captivating. Ronald Emile‘s Akil bleeds love-soaked desperation in his brotherly efforts. Don’t sleep on him.

Sosie Bacon‘s Dina is genuine and aspirational. Her kindness and self-actualization are incredibly refreshing.

Kyle Gallner, one of my favorite actors on the planet, knocks it out of the park again. It feels like there is no role he cannot own. As James, Gallner commands each frame, bouncing between fear, rage, the hustle, and the deceiving calm of a high. But it is the sacrificial lamb under the surface that gets you. Once again, it is award-worthy stuff.

There is an immersive feel to the opening scene, almost a sensory overload. Gallner’s performance, Tom Acton Fitzgerald‘s camerawork, and the augmented sound editing from Dylan Castora put the audience on edge. Each time James attempts to get clean, this overwhelming cycle begins again, chasing him from help.

Each one of our ensemble comes from poverty, abuse, violence, and generational trauma. Our players cross paths on the streets and in detox centers during their lowest lows. Cotton Fever is a frighteningly authentic peek inside the realities of too many people. It is raw humanity. These are the stories Tribeca audiences live for.

‘General Admission’ (Tribeca 2026 short) Confounding confessions and comedy make great bedfellows in this hilarious short.

Posted on June 8, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

General Admission

Director Kaily Morgan Smith gets it. Tribeca 2026 short General Admission is a damn hit. In just under ten minutes, we meet a disaster of a woman attending her first anonymous meeting. Launching into her “Hi, my name is,” audiences already know they are in for a smirk-inducing ride.

Nina Dobrev is a comic genius here. Huge props to writer Sarah Adina. Surrounded by a slew of familiar television faces, Dobrev delivers a monologue that teeters between ridiculous and genuine. She nails each beat with 1000% commitment, and it is fantastic.

The brilliant ensemble keeps up the comedy with unforgettable one-liners. Anthony Kraus’ casting is perfection. Gorgeously shot by Patrick Jones, and aided by a punchy score by Chris Tilton, I would watch an entire series of Kelly in this group, week after week. I’m begging for a General Admission series. I’m already addicted.

‘Ponderosa’ (Tribeca 2026) Mind boggling brain barnacle is here to haunt you forever. For-ev-er.

Posted on June 7, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

Ponderosa

Filmmaker Rob Rice‘s incredibly uncomfortable Tribeca 2026 film Ponderosa follows Zeke, a young man targeted by a wealthy patron as his mother’s restaurant chain falters. George thinks he’s mentoring Zeke, but the reality is a collection of bizarre, forced encounters.

As George involves Zeke in cartoonishly masculine scenarios, the audience feels more and more unwell. Each interaction is slightly exaggerated, making you feel increasingly off-kilter. Deadpan delivery may tip you off, but good luck. Ponderosa is a film that begs patience from its audience. It is a gross societal mirror. The script is deeply and intentionally awkward, highlighting the extreme differences in communication styles between generations.

Alexis Bledel plays Sandra with a morose indifference that she pretends to curb with dark humor. Bill Camp‘s George is anxiety-inducing. His discomfort is palpable. His fear of rejection pushes his efforts to woo Zeke into overdrive. Jack Dylan Grazer gives Zeke an alarming aloofness with Camp, but a genuine care for his mother’s emotional state. Grazer’s often clipped and quirky responses to George make for a fascinating study in human connection, and the combination of vapidity and nonchalance you want to strangle. It’s a genuinely great performance.

Visually striking, it compels you to explore each new frame. Barton Cortright offers juxtaposed imagery that both baffles and hypnotizes. Creative transitions stick in your brain. I cannot stop thinking about this film. I walked away feeling simultaneously dumber and entranced. I honestly feel like I got probed, but with my permission. And that’s weird. Do not move during Ponderosa’s credits. One more f*cked up hit is coming.

‘HOLO’ (Tribeca 2026 short) Immersive therapy dying for development.

Posted on June 7, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

HOLO

In an effort to help Claire process her unresolved trauma, a tech company called Looking Glass creates a motion capture hologram version of her late husband Jared. The session is an advanced form of immersion therapy. But the complexity of their relationship puts everyone involved in danger.

Shane West, heartthrob to a generation of women like me thanks to A Walk To Remember, still exudes an effortless charm that leaps off the screen. As Jared, he taps into a terrifying rage. Morgan Kohan gives Claire every bit of herself. It’s the arc we die for. Bravo to Zelda Williams for playing Jared’s human counterpart (more of her, please), and to director Alexander DeSouza and Ashley Brandon for the seamless editing. Magali Lafeur nails the production design.

DeSouza creates an ominous atmosphere. Screenwriter Alexander Hernandez-Maxwell pulls on our darkest desires and intrusive thoughts. Fans of Severence, Westworld, and the 2024 doc, Eternal You, will find HOLO both deeply intriguing and emotionally depraved, which is the highest of compliments. While the short stands proudly on its own, audiences will no doubt clamor for more. HOLO is ripe for development, and I love that DeSouza knows it.

‘Carolina Caroline’ (2026) Thrilling and sexy crime romance is a dreamer’s paradise.

Posted on June 6, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

Carolina Caroline

Adam Carter Rehmeier, the filmmaking genius behind Dinner in America, brings a Bonnie-and-Clyde love story to the big screen that is destined to sweep you off your feet. Smalltown girl meets con man and sparks fly in Carolina Caroline.

Samara Weaving plays Caroline with both a curious innocence and a ferocious need. A woman with deep-seated mommy issues and supposed free will looking to feel seen. Kyle Gallner, AKA My Music Boyfriend (IYKYK), AKA Scream King, is our charming bad influence, Oliver. A whip-smart, observant, effortless hustler, his journey is just as complex as Weaving’s. Gallner always makes it look easy. The two share a goo-goo-eyed chemistry that makes the knees weak. You are buying every dangerous and sensual beat.

As their crimes progress from petty to armed, Caroline’s conscience creeps in, and a close call digs a deeper hole for her and Oliver. Rehmeier keeps the audience on their toes from the get-go, using Oliver’s teaching techniques to lure you into his game, but suspect a potential long con. But Rehmeier and writer Tom Dean are smarter than that with a script that knocks it out of the park.

Of course, the score god Chris Bear did the music. Bear, Rehmeier, and editor Justin Krohn understand the emotional impact of a strategically placed song. The red, white, and blue costumes (which match the opening credits) are iconic. Rehmeier’s ability to create a visual identity in his films is truly chef’s kiss.

Anyone who wishes their daydreams were their reality. Anyone longing to break the rules. Anyone desperately trying to break a trauma cycle. Anyone willing to forgive in an emotional freefall, Carolina Caroline will steal your heart.

Carolina Caroline Trailer:

Carolina Caroline is in theaters June 5.

Starring Samara Weaving, Kyle Gallner, Kyra Sedgwick, and Jon Gries. Acclaimed director Adam Carter Rehmeier’s romantic crime thriller stars Samara Weaving (READY OR NOT, BORDERLINE) as Caroline Daniels, whose desire to leave her small Texas town brings her into the orbit of a charismatic con man (Kyle Gallner), and together they weave a path of crime and passion across the American Southeast. Also starring Kyra Sedgwick, the film features a wide-ranging country music soundtrack, with tracks from artists such as Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Loretta Lynn, and over a dozen others.

‘The Revisionist’ (Tribeca 2026) A storyteller’s dream and one hell of debut.

Posted on June 6, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

The Revisionist

Filmmaker Alex Vlack‘s debut is staggering. The Revisionist follows a twisted tale of artistic integrity and the unpredictability of the creative process. At an impasse for her latest work, novelist Elise plays dirty emotional warfare with those closest to her.

Dustin Hoffman plays David, Jacob’s aging, eccentric, but successful novelist father, with effortless cool and a curmudgeonly overtone. The distinct difference in tone from one scene to the next is a goddamm masterclass.

Tom Sturridge gives Jacob a trauma-filled sadness. He wallows in the lack of paternal connection, a level of wounded bird that counters both John and Elise. Sturridge is a dream partner. The total opposite of toxic masculinity. Read More →

‘The Haunting of Pennhurst’ (Tribeca 2026) Pulling back a dark curtain of cruelty to reclaim power. A doc that educates and enrages.

Posted on June 5, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

The Haunting of Pennhurst

In Pennsylvania, a looming brick building stands as a testament to a dark past. Today, artists create enormous monster builds, finely detailed costumes, and eerie sets inside the rooms of a former institution for individuals with disabilities. Part stark horror story and part empowering revisionist, filmmakers Nathan Stenberg, Mike Attie, and Katarina Poljak‘s The Haunting of Pennhurst lives up to its title every frame.

Veteran performers encourage their new seasonal actors to create in-depth character charts to instill motivation, but most of those who apply for the position don’t need to make things up. The cast consists of neurodiverse and disabled people.

The film sucks you in by introducing the horrid history, but then allows the present attraction to act as a reclamation of power for the atrocities once committed there. Archival newspaper clips, alongside a perfectly ominous score, highlight the sickening language and mindset of Pennhurst’s 1907 origin. The film begins with a warning. Fifteen minutes in, the viewer will recognize its necessity. Read More →

‘Lucy Schulman’ (Tribeca 2026) A sweet and sour codependency cocktail

Posted on June 5, 2026 by Liz Whittemore — Leave a reply

Lucy Schulman

Ellie Sachs wears all the hats in her Tribeca 2026 film Lucy Schulman. The film follows a woman’s boy-crazy tendencies as they guide her life choices, and not for the better.

David Cross plays Lucy’s adorably kind father, Peter. Sachs and Cross share a chemistry that is cinematic magic. Their deliciously codependent relationship is like a warm hug of happy memories.

Lucy’s all-in approach to her love life slowly proves detrimental to her work and friendships, and eventually her partners. Her romantic hyperfocus becomes all-consuming, and little by little she chips away at every other relationship. Sometimes it takes everything falling apart to figure out how to get your shit together.
