Friday Film Review

It’s only spring, but a new film may already have the best title of the year — “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.” The story that follows is weird, unpredictable, kinda funny and kinda scary.

“In the Blink of an Eye” is an epic narrative, connecting three distinct human eras tens of thousands of years apart. It premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize.

“How to Make a Killing” is an updated version of a classic British comedy. But all it shows is how not to do a remake.

The film “Marty Supreme” is intense and frenzied – and is nominated for nine Academy Awards.

Rachel McAdams transitions from one of the “Mean Girls” to one-up the revenge plotting Veronica from “Heathers” in the darkly comedic horror film “Send Help.”

This week’s Friday Film Review looks at “Hamnet,” a backstory about William Shakespeare’s family that’s been getting a lot of award-season attention.

“Song Sung Blue” is a biographical musical drama — not about Neil Diamond, but about a Wisconsin couple who became locally famous by creating a “Neil Diamond Experience.”

The new film “Anaconda” is a reboot — and also, a spoof about Hollywood doing reboots.

“Bugonia” is a dark comedy by absurdist director Yorgos Lanthimos. Filled with conspiracy theories, corporate greed and possible alien invasions, the film’s brilliant, subversive satire will keep you guessing. “Bugonia” screens this weekend at Park City Films.

This week’s Friday Film Review sizes up “The Housemaid,” starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried in a psychological thriller where it isn’t quite clear who is naughty or nice, but everyone looks amazing in tank tops.
