I’m tempted to describe What Happens Later (2023) as The Langoliers of romantic dramedies, but then it isn’t all that spooky, or romantic, or dramatic, or funny.

The Intruders treats its hidden space like a magician’s trapdoor. It’s just a trick to get a reaction out of the audience. Once the secret room is opened, the movie has nothing left to say.

It’s hard to imagine a movie where the boundary between narrative drama and documentary process dissolves more delightfully than in The Taste of Things.

Nikita tries to be a sleek action thriller, an existential drama, a dark comedy, and a doomed romance all at once. By refusing to commit, the film undercuts its emotional stakes.

Abandoning the urge for a Shyamalan-style twist and leaning into dramatic irony, Last Survivors pivots from a trick-ending mystery toward a psychological study of indoctrination and emancipation.

The Burial (2023) is a crock of razzle-dazzle bullshit — a retroactively BlackLivesMatter-pandering, quote-unquote true story wherein an old white man plays the race card on another old white man.
