A24

If I had to put money on which director would take the big leap in the next decade, most (if not all) of it would be on Jeremy Saulnier. You could say I have a lot of…

With every article I write about A24, the closer I become to being a merch bro. (Not yet!) But despite how much fun it is to dunk on people who like each and every A24…

Kelly Reichardt’s latest, First Cow, distributed by A24, is an intimate look at male friendship, the American dream, and baking. Reichardt is well-known for her films about American life, focusing on dire times and looked-over…

Oz Perkins is a talented filmmaker. His previous directorial outings range from good (I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in the House) to great (The Blackcoat’s Daughter). When I heard he was making a…

There are precious few films that announce their brilliance in their opening moments. Minari is one of those films — and I’m positive that this isn’t the “Sundance high” talking that frequently comes with reactions…

2019 delivered some great cinema! While the return of great directors like Tarantino and Scorsese has been the highlight of awards season, we also saw some great directorial debuts on the indie scene. Films like…

Rod Goldman and Al Silverman are street performers who work the tourist scene of Times Square. Goldman gets no respect and Silverman is the first one to make sure of that.   Credits Directed By:…

2019 was a big year for A24, which distributed some of the more noteworthy and beloved indie films, including The Lighthouse, Midsommar, High Life, The Farewell, and many more. But arguably none were more successful…

Uncut Gems feels like it is partially plucked from my dream journal. It has so many things that I love or am captivated by, from a New York-based crime story to a great Adam Sandler…

This just in…. After seeing The Lighthouse, and more specifically Robert Pattinson’s amazing performance, a Texas man has vowed to watch every Robert Pattinson movie to see what he has been missing. “I mean, where…

The best stories are the ones that speak to all of us. Regardless of the time, place and/or culture that the story is set in, there is a humanity to the characters and narrative that…

These best/worst of the month articles are always an opportunity to express my exaggerated concerns with the industry as a whole. However, July was actually a bright spot of the summer movie season, balancing nicely…

I can picture the more standard, Hollywood version of Share in my head: it’s full of long diatribes, tearful wishes, and happy resolutions. A24’s Share, however, is far more cynical and rough, challenging its audience to accept its…

June was…rough. We saw a slew of high-profile blockbusters flop hard; most notably, Dark Phoenix will lose Fox (Disney) around $100 million. Other films like The Secret Life of Pets 2 and Shaft also cratered,…

Well, Midsommar was an experience, to say the least. Following up Hereditary, last year’s breakout indie hit, wasn’t going to be an easy task, mostly because you probably loved it and had your expectations very…

Hereditary was a major hit for A24 last summer, quickly becoming one of the indie distributor’s most successful monetary investments off of the strength of some magnetic performances, a string of horrendously morbid set pieces,…

If you’re anything like me — and may the gods have pity on you if you are — then you’ve grown quite tired of the countless obvious corporate products that have limped into multiplexes so…

Sorry, but UglyDolls will not be making an appearance on this list of the best movies of May 2019. Let’s all take a moment of silence for this tragic loss… … … … …Okay, that’s…

It’s that time of year again. The 66th annual Sydney Film Festival has just kicked off for another year. Screening from June 5-16, The 2019 program boasts an impressive lineup of over 250 of the…

Joanna Hogg has had much critical success as an arthouse director with a couple of well-received films. But she hasn’t had much luck in the states as of yet, leaving much of her success across…

From the Illuminati to backmasked satanic messages on Led Zep albums, the world has always loved a good conspiracy theory. And (no) thanks to the success of pundits like Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones, we’re…

I find it fitting that while we find ourselves in the middle of the most unprecedented box office occurrence of the millennium, I settled on three smaller movies for the top spots in April’s best…

After Alfonso Cuarón’s 2006 film Children of Men, the Science-Fiction Fertility Thriller is a sub-genre rarely seen in cinema. But leave it to the mistress of the cinema of the body, Claire Denis to tackle…

Shazam! opened to a well-earned $150+ million weekend worldwide. The Zachary Levi-helmed movie is a hit with critics and fans alike, bringing much-needed heart into the DCEU. In other corners of the market, Pet Sematary…

Dating is so, so tough. Showing vulnerability in the face of possible rejection is one of the more harrowing experience the common single person can encounter. Now add to the mix that the single person…

The modern moviegoing experienced has largely been distilled to two kinds of movies: IP-driven blockbusters and micro-budgeted horror films. I’m simplifying, of course, but most of the profitable movies of the last few years fall…

The child-from-hell genre has been beaten to death with the resurgence of low-budget horror in the last few years. Hell, we even had The Prodigy open in theaters just a few weeks ago! (But we…

Sundance 2019 was my first ever time attending the illustrious festival, and it certainly lived up to all the hype. After a week of running from screening to screening, living off of way too much…

MovieBabble as a collective is a big fan of A24. They’re the leaders of arthouse cinema at the moment as they empower their creators to change the mold with deeply complex and entertaining pictures. They’re…

Life is never black and white, no matter how much we may wish it to be. There are always shades of grey that bring in unforeseen complications into what may seem like a black and…

Breathtaking cinematography and fine acting cannot save Woman Walks Ahead from a silly, underdeveloped script. It turns what could have been a great film into an average one. The following review will be spoiler free. Synopsis Directed…

There’s always that one indie darling that releases in the middle of the year and steals the hearts of millions. It looks like Eighth Grade is that movie this year, capturing the uncomfortable and awkward nature of…

A Prayer Before Dawn was another promising entry by the continuously stellar distributor A24. The trailer certainly caught my attention! This film seemed to be about the possible redemption of a drugged-out Muay-thai fighter, stuck…

So far both critics and audience members seem split about Elijah Bynum’s debut film Hot Summer Nights. On Rotten Tomatoes there is currently no critical consensus yet, though most reviews are lukewarm. Hot Summer Nights will…

After writing movies such as Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, Paul Schrader cemented himself as an industry mainstay.  If he wished, Schrader could have stopped after those two creations and left behind a legacy that many would have…

The rise in content creation in the past few years has led to a few great occurrences.  Not only are their more creative people entering the film industry, more independent distributors are also entering the…

After debuting at Sundance earlier this year, many called Hereditary one of the “scariest movies ever made.”  Surely, no one overreacted to that statement and others like it, and everyone is going into Hereditary with in-check expectations. In all…

With every passing month, it seems like A24 adds another quality film to their library.  Focusing on smaller stories that capture livelihoods that are rarely given the chance on the big screen, A24 provides quality…

As A24 continues to ramp up distribution on unique projects, another one of their properties, The Florida Project, continues to receive awards consideration from multiple governing bodies.  Whether it goes on to win countless awards remains…

In August of 2012, a little production company by the name of A24 was formed in New York.  Since then, the company has gone on to produce some major award winners as well as some…
