Genre: Coming-of-age drama
Duration: 2h31m
Director: Steven Spielberg
Pour: Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, and Gabriel LaBelle

Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical drama tells the story of Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle), a young aspiring filmmaker who finds stability in the medium of film amid the disruption of his family life and childhood in post-war Arizona. If that description isn’t enough to seduce you, how about a cameo by twin peaks Creator David Lynch as celebrated Hollywood icon John Ford?

From our review:

At the heart of nearly every Steven Spielberg film is the ghost of a boy still saddened by his parents’ divorce and hiding his grief in the cinema’s giant sandpit. One can subconsciously see the pain of this child in the fighting mom and dad characters in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It stems from the family dynamic of ET: the extraterrestrial. And it unfolds in “Catch Me If You Can,” as Frank Abagnale takes refuge in his mother’s second family home. But Spielberg has never approached his own childhood as straightforwardly as he did in his semi-autobiographical film The Fabelmans, one of the best films of 2022 so far.

Where to see: Available for streaming Shudder

Genre: horror
Duration: 1h37m
Director: Michelle Garza Cervera
Pour: Natalia Solian, Alfonso Dosal, Mayra Batalla

This critically acclaimed horror film from Mexico is about a new mother who is being haunted by otherworldly forces.

From our review:

to Hue speaks in a language of shattering and doom when rigid structures crumble under pressure – the wood of sturdy furniture, the bones of an animal consumed for its flesh, the expectations of an expectant mother. Mighty hands detach these things from their assigned purpose. In to HueValeria is both the hands of a craftswoman and her medium: she screams in pain as her bones are bent in ways they are not meant to be, yet craves control to shape her life into one of her desires to bring shape. Cervera authored a motherhood fable that responds to tradition by asking: Which tradition is the strongest and most empowering? Catholic austerity embodied in a sculpture of the Virgin Mary? The witchcraft of women held captive by such ideals? The punks who rebel? When someone whose life is in transition is pulled in so many directions, the body changes and the bones are realigned.

New on VOD

Pour: Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Morgan Davies

When a massive earthquake shakes the foundations of Ellie’s apartment complex, an ancient evil is inadvertently exposed – one that threatens to claim the lives of everyone trapped inside.

From our review:

Evil Dead Rise is a film by the sick for the sick. It’s a fantastic update of the legendary series, full of humor but also with Álvarez’ penchant for the gross and disturbing. The refreshing change in scenery and cast, as well as Sutherland’s groundbreaking performance, prove that there’s still plenty of life and struggle in this undead franchise.

In fact, at 97 lively minutes, it feels like it’s almost over from the start. It’s a perfect entry-level film for newer viewers who have never seen an Evil Dead movie, but for long-time fans it breathes new life into a classic horror comedy franchise, mixing Raimi’s old-school approach with the new school of gruesome horror mixed. It shows that there is still a lot to change within the old deadlines.
