I feel like this stuff hits hard since the sort of barbaric behavior displayed here happened in real life. Highly recommended.
#PhoenixFilmFestival
I was laughing my ass off the entire time. A absolute highlight of the festival.
#PhoenixFilmFestival
Samara Weaving is one of my favorite actresses and really brings a lot of warmth and complexity to her character. Kyle Gallner is understated and great like always. A highlight of the festival. Highly recommended.
#PhoenixFilmFestival
It’s definitely lite in the story department but the performances are so good I didn’t really care. If you need a strong narrative this isn’t going to be the movie for you but if you like character studies you may want to give this a try.

Now Watching: Fifteen (Quince)
Two best friends planning for their quinceañera must deal with an unwanted pregnancy from something monstrous. Ginger Snaps meets Rosemary’s Baby, this struggles a bit with tone but is ultimately pretty entertaining. Fun stuff
#PhoenixFilmFestival
It’s not the most original movie but I think it puts its own fun stamp on the story. A festival sleeper.
#PhoenixFilmFestival
Whip smart and confident, this is a great documentary about someone who literally colored my childhood. I learned a bunch about Manzano, including how many very memorable bits she wrote on Sesame Street. Also probably one of the first girls I had a crush on. Delightful.
#PhoenixFilmFestival
For those of you on the east coast that are unable to make it to #PhoenixFilmFestival this weekend for #Bluebird, there is also the premiere of #TheManWhomTheTreesLoved at #FloridaFilmFest!
Screenings available on Saturday and Sunday and the full trailer is here: youtu.be/gqHzdA5p04A
By far the best part is the seemingly innocuous couple played by Melissa Chambers and Peter Lucas. If a poor man’s Motel Hell sounds fun this might work for you but actual mileage may vary.
#phoenixfilmfestival
The action is absolutely insane. This was an absolute blast.
#PhoenixFilmFestival
The pace is frenetic and the story is completely bonkers. This is definitely going to be too gross for some people, including a poor woman who loudly said “I want to go home” after a particularly disgusting moment, but if you have a strong stomach I thought it was a blast.
#PhoenixFilmFestival
This takes forever to get going, doesn’t know who the main character is & retreads one trope after another until it limps to an unsatisfying ending. Never a good sign when you are checking your watch to see how long is left ten minutes into the film. They can’t all be winners.
#PhoenixFilmFestival
Walking a thin tonal tight rope, this starts out cute and slowly ramps up the tension until it becomes deeply unsettling. Lead actress Inde Navarrette gives an absolute master class in her swing from normal teenager to unhinged and fixated. Absolutely loved this.
#PhoenixFilmFestival
Had a wonderful time at the Phoenix Film Festival with Jill Campbell, the talented director of Beyond the Gaze: Jule Campbell’s Swimsuit Issue.

The #PhoenixFilmFestival opened with an absolute charmer last weekend.
#TheBalladofWallisIsland will be released for all of Phoenix tomorrow, and I highly recommend this lovely little film.
My review:
lamplightreview.com/movie-review...
For #PhoenixFilmFestival opening night, I got the chance to review ‘The Ballad of Wallis Island,’ a surprisingly charming project that I maybe didn’t love as much as my audience did.
It’s in theaters this month, check out my review for KTAR News!
