I saw Forbidden Fruits at SXSW 2026 and walked out feeling genuinely disappointed. It sets itself up like it’s going to be bold, edgy, and maybe even a little subversive, especially with its all-female coven operating inside a suburban mall. Directed by Meredith Alloway and featuring a strong cast led by Lili Reinhart, Victoria Pedretti,… Continue reading SXSW 2026 – Forbidden Fruits: frustrating, shallow, and nowhere near clever

Critica de cine de SXSW – Ready or Not 2: Here I Come: Un juego mortal con humor negro
Si eres fanático del horror exagerado y satírico, es muy probable que esta sea una película para ti, ya sea que hayas visto la primera película (2019) o no. Me atrevo a decir que esta secuela es una que se puede disfrutar sin haber visto la primera película, ya que hay un resumen introductorio al… Continue reading Critica de cine de SXSW – Ready or Not 2: Here I Come: Un juego mortal con humor negro
SXSW 2026: READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME – A Fun Sequel That Expands on The Lore Of The First Installment
On the second night of the 2026 SXSW Film & TV festival, the programmers scheduled and screened the highly anticipated sequel to Ready or Not, directed by the respected Radio Silence collective (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett). The movie delivers more of what fans of the first film enjoyed, along with some expansion of the… Continue reading SXSW 2026: READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME – A Fun Sequel That Expands on The Lore Of The First Installment
SXSW 2026 Film Review: Mam
***Spoilers ahead*** ‘Mam’ is a triumph in its own beautiful, charming, and simplistic way. In this documentary-style fiction film, we watch a young man struggling in the New York iron jungle to build his life as we slowly learn that his real dream is to own a restaurant, where he can bring his Vietnamese culinary… Continue reading SXSW 2026 Film Review: Mam
SXSW 2026: that’s a wrap
Now that SXSW 2026 has wrapped, the overall experience felt both familiar and noticeably different. I went in expecting some changes, but the shortened schedule and the absence of the Austin Convention Center shaped the festival’s rhythm more than I anticipated. The core of SXSW—film, creativity, and discovery—was still very much there, but the way… Continue reading SXSW 2026: that’s a wrap
SXSW 2026 – Sender: a wild mental ride
I saw Sender at its world premiere during SXSW 2026, and it’s the kind of film that immediately pulls you in with a sharp, unsettling premise. Directed by Russell Goldman, the story follows Julia, played by Britt Lower, who is newly sober and newly unemployed, trying to rebuild her life in a quiet suburban rental.… Continue reading SXSW 2026 – Sender: a wild mental ride
SXSW 2026 – Chili Finger: bold, strange, and undeniably fun
I saw Chili Finger at its world premiere during SXSW 2026, and it’s one of those films that makes me laugh, wince, and then think a little longer than I expected. Directed by Edd Benda and Stephen Helstad, the movie takes a bizarre real-life premise and pushes it into dark, chaotic, and surprisingly thoughtful territory.… Continue reading SXSW 2026 – Chili Finger: bold, strange, and undeniably fun
SXSW 2026-Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come fully embraces the chaos that made the first film memorable, and for better or worse, that same energy drives this sequel. Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the film plunges Samara Weaving’s Grace back into another deadly game, and it wastes no time getting started. The production… Continue reading SXSW 2026-Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
SXSW 2026 – I Love Boosters: too chaotic to land solidly
With his SXSW 2026 opening night film, Boots Riley’s latest swings big — and I found myself both admiring aspects of it and shaking my head in equal measure. From the beginning, it’s clearly a Boots Riley film: bold, highly stylized, and full of color. The imagery is vivid and creative, almost intoxicating at times,… Continue reading SXSW 2026 – I Love Boosters: too chaotic to land solidly
SXSW 2026: Anticipation
Opening day at SXSW always carries a certain electricity—an energy that hums through Austin before the first panel begins or the first note is played. There’s the familiar ritual of scanning the lineup, mapping out impossible schedules, and wondering how it will all come together. This year, though, that anticipation feels slightly different. SXSW 2026… Continue reading SXSW 2026: Anticipation
