The 2023 SXSW Film & TV Festival was a great year for documentaries highlighting the lives and careers of iconic superstars. These films offered audiences fascinating and insightful portraits of the people behind the symbols. I COULD NOT MISS THEIR STORIES since I grew up watching these artists/entertainers.

SXSW 2023: PROBLEMISTA
Honestly, I was unfamiliar with the previous work of actor/writer/filmmaker Julio Torres. The main things that caught my attention were that Tilda Swinton co-stars in the movie and that the film has a Spanish title. Those two elements hooked me in and brought me back to Austin’s Paramount Theater for another headlining feature. Let me… Continue reading SXSW 2023: PROBLEMISTA

Regardless, director Paris Zarcilla manages, with the help of a solid cast, a creepy, slightly suspenseful flick. She pulls out all the necessary elements – crazed… Continue reading SXSW – Raging Grace – a tepid thriller
