The 25 best movies of 2024

As a film enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that 2024 was an extraordinary year for cinema. The diversity and creativity showcased in this list are nothing short of breathtaking.

At the beginning of Brian Raftery’s 2019 book Best. Movie. Year. Ever: How 1999 Blew Up The Big Screen, Edward Norton, who starred in Fight Club, noted that the movies of 1999 reflected a sense of unease about the future. More specifically, films from this era often dealt with the anxiety of being confronted with a world that seemed slightly unwelcoming, according to Norton. Raftery echoes this idea when he points out that, following numerous political turmoils in the ’90s, by the time 1999 rolled around, it felt as if anything was possible.

2024’s cinematic offerings were deeply infused with shared themes of existential despair. Loneliness was a recurring element in these films. Characters such as Willie S., searching for connection in the movie ‘Queer’, Megatron grappling with deceit in ‘Transformers One’, and the disparate members of the family in ‘Mountains’ (to name a few) all portrayed souls who felt isolated even amidst a throng. In many ways, we found ourselves mirroring these lonely 2024 protagonists.

Despite the pervasive sense of loneliness in films by 2024 and an abundance of distressing real-life events, I refuse to lose faith in the world or its people. As Waymond Wang wisely put it, “Optimism isn’t blind naivety; it’s a strategic and essential approach. It’s how I’ve managed to endure through all that I’ve faced.

2024 was filled with chaos, but there were moments of pure joy butting in unexpectedly, like a vibrant flower blooming amidst the concrete. The cinema brought us immense happiness that year – from the heartwarming “holding space” memes to the electrifying beats of the Challengers soundtrack, and unforgettable trips to the theater. It was fascinating to witness people’s emotional reactions to movies on the big screen. The Texas Theatre in Dallas, Texas, served as a shining light for the local moviegoing community, even adding an endearing video store. Moviemakers from across the globe poured their emotions into films that helped make the hardships of everyday life a little more manageable. Even the darkest movies reminded us that we’re not the only ones going through difficult times in this world, and we’re never truly alone during our most isolated moments.

2024 brought an abundance of delightful moments, with top-notch films being one of them. The impact and importance of cinema became even more evident and crucial than ever this year.

The 25 best movies of 2024 were not the only standout features of the 217 2024 new releases I saw in the last 12-ish months. But they’re especially remarkable feats of filmmaking even beyond their frequently timely nature. In any year, their visual, narrative, and acting-based feats would be worth celebrating. These are especially challenging times to get through. The prospect of waking up every day and discovering further movies as good as the 25 best features of 2024, though, makes it a lot more bearable. Without further ado, let’s delve into the 25 best movies of the year, starting with number 25.

25. Flow (dir. Gints Zilbalodis)

In contrast to the boisterous and unnecessary sequels of “Despicable Me”, the tranquil film titled “Flow” stands out. Instead of relying on loud noise, it uses adorable animals and stunning animation to capture attention. The plot revolves around a diverse group of creatures (such as a black cat, lemur, and crane), who find themselves aboard a boat amidst the possibility of an apocalypse. Despite its simplicity, it proves incredibly captivating, much like “Gunda“. Just as “Gunda” invites viewers to empathize with non-human animals, “Flow” achieves this through breathtaking visuals and subtle, humorous moments (like a capybara’s uninterested expression). After the arrival of “Flow“, it seems obnoxiously loud animated films have met their end.

24. Longlegs (dir. Osgood Perkins)

In a unique and unsettling manner, the film “Longlegs” finds its place among the select few movies that effectively portray the disquieting feeling of living a nightmare. It’s not merely about fearsome events, but rather an off-kilter world where everything seems amiss, even in the most ordinary settings like a suburban home hallway. Director Osgood Perkins skillfully captures this unsettling sensation in “Longlegs”. The camera lingers on vacant shots or awkward character interactions (such as Kiernan Shipka and Maika Monroe’s significant scene together), powerfully reflecting the sensation of being imprisoned within one’s own mind. Sudden shifts in tone, such as brief moments of dark humor, intensify this eerie atmosphere. The film’s haunting ambiance is brilliantly brought to life through strikingly evocative visuals and impassioned performances, particularly from Nicolas Cage. Similar to David Lynch’s “Lost Highway”, the unsettling nature of “Longlegs” lingers long after the viewing has ended. The most potent nightmares often linger, as one would expect.

23. Love Lies Bleeding (dir. Rose Glass)

By this point, cinephiles everywhere have undoubtedly taken notice of the standout aspects of “Love Lies Bleeding”, such as Katy O’Brian’s breakout performance and its vibrant editing. Yet, fewer discussions seem to focus on how skillfully director Rose Glass navigates dark comedy within this film. The nuanced delivery of Kristen Stewart’s simple “yep” during a phone call in the third act is truly explosive, much like her dramatic leap over a tennis court to pursue her romantic interest. Moreover, it’s hard not to appreciate the movie’s daring scene where Ed Harris casually eats a bug he’s been holding throughout the film, making the disturbing crunch of toe-gnawing an unforgettable moment. After all, isn’t it worth applauding a film that turns such a stomach-churning sound into something memorable?

22. How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (dir. Pat Boonnitipat)

Many American comedies with a darker tone, such as The Boss and The Wrong Missy, struggle at first by delighting in cruel behavior before eventually softening into typical third-act emotionality. It requires great skill to blend skepticism with warmth. Writer/director Pat Boonnitipat demonstrates this finesse in his film, How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies. The story begins when a young adult, M (Putthipong “Billkin” Assaratanakul), suddenly finds himself caring for his ailing grandmother, Mengju (Usha “Taew” Seamkhum), in the hope of receiving a substantial inheritance. Although the initial premise is somber, the movie proves to be rich in humor and poignant emotional scenes. Boonnitipat carefully develops M, Mengju, and their extended family as authentic characters. He also shrewdly sets the initial cynical plot within the broader context of society’s exploitation of people, including the elderly (people can make money off anyone, even the elderly!).

As a gamer, let me tell you, the budding friendship between M/Mengju in this game tugs at my heartstrings. To add to that, Seamkhum’s exceptional performance leaves no room for doubt. So, here it is – How to Make Millions Before Grandma has proven itself as a more triumphant creative endeavor than The Wrong Missy.

21. Nosferatu (dir. Robert Eggers)

In a unique twist of words, when Pitbull sang “I’m a little freaky, baby” on the controversial remix of the song “Drink to That All Night,” he could have been expressing our collective quirks. Each one of us is peculiar in our distinct ways. Filmmaker Robert Eggers showcases his oddity by blending exquisite filmmaking techniques with unsettling elements. In his interpretation of Nosferatu, Eggers combines the lavish costume design reminiscent of a James Ivory production with the meticulous cinematography akin to Łukasz Żal, and adds psychosexual violence that wouldn’t be out of place in Frankenhooker. The result is an opulent, unconventional experience filled with blood, writhing bodies, and decay within upper-class societies. A single shot featuring Nicholas Hoult walking on a trail in the dark amidst falling snow took my breath away. This image is just one of many captivating moments in this film, demonstrating the power of embracing that peculiarity Pitbull referred to years ago.

20. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (dir. George Miller)

To create a prequel for “Mad Max: Fury Road,” it’s not about revisiting the same storyline but rather focusing on a standalone film titled “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” This film delves into the backstory of Furiosa, interconnecting with “Fury Road” while exploring her lost potential under the oppressive rule of Immortan Joe and Dr. Dementus. Director George Miller’s latest addition to the Mad Max universe combines an expansive scope with a deeply emotional, tragic core. The tale of Furiosa raises questions about what we could have become had we not been trapped in The Wasteland, questioning our very existence amidst breathtaking action sequences and an exceptional performance by Anya Taylor-Joy. If you’re looking for a breath of fresh air amidst the trend of fan-service-oriented blockbusters, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” is here to offer respite.

19. Wicked (dir. Jon M. Chu)

2024 saw the movie musical genre stuck in a deep slump for most of the year, but luckily, the much-anticipated first installment of the “Wicked” adaptation concluded it on a high note. The enchanting melodies by lyricist Stephen Schwartz and his team remain as hummable and foot-tapping as ever, with songs like “What Is This Feeling?” and “The Wizard and I” stuck in my head for weeks! What’s more, the innovative and lively elements introduced by director Jon M. Chu and his collaborators make this adaptation truly shine. They approach the tunes with an exuberant, over-the-top style that is visually striking on screen, complete with vibrant colors, sharp cinematography, and a strong emphasis on grand emotions. A performance of “Popular,” adorned in vivid costumes and undeniable lesbian undertones, is particularly captivating. To top it all off, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande deliver standout performances that make “Wicked” surpass expectations and even defy gravity. Here’s hoping for a kiss between Elphaba and Glinda in the next part to make this already fantastic spectacle truly unforgettable!

18. Hard Truths (dir. Mike Leigh)

In a welcome turn of events, after a long spell abroad, acclaimed director Mike Leigh has returned to pen and direct films once more. His comeback was marked in 2024 with the release of “Hard Truths”, offering another profound exploration of everyday life in Britain. This production also saw the reunion of Leigh with Marianne Jean-Baptiste, who played a central role in “Secrets & Lies”. In this film, Jean-Baptiste portrayed Pansy Deacon, a character known for her biting wit and social aloofness. Jean-Baptiste delivers an outstanding performance in this challenging role. Her sharp words seem almost poetic. The film captures your attention, but it’s the authentic portrayal of complex family relationships that keeps viewers enthralled. Even a simple Mother’s Day lunch scene becomes riveting under Leigh’s direction. Jean-Baptiste delivers a powerhouse performance, helping to create another masterpiece by Leigh, showcasing top-tier cinema from the most ordinary of scenarios.

17. The Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel (dir. Jenny Nicholson)

As a devoted fan, I’d say the 2020s documentary scene is characterized by shallow celebrity portraits and run-of-the-mill true crime investigations, much like the 2000s were overshadowed by Michael Moore/Morgan Spurlock imitations. But then comes along Jenny Nicholson’s latest masterpiece, The Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel, which premiered on YouTube in early 2024. This comprehensive exploration delves deep into the story of the failed Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel, keeping me captivated for a solid four hours. With a blend of on-site footage from Nicholson’s own experience at the Galactic Starcruiser and fresh reflections on her journey through a distant galaxy, this engaging feature offers a unique mix of corporate decay, misguided escapism concepts, and an unexpected pole discussion. This meticulous dissection of a financially disastrous project is as amusing as it is heart-rending.

The delicate balance of sympathy for the blue-collar workers who were mistakenly involved in this fiasco, along with a sharp rebuke for the executives responsible for such a foolish idea as the Galactic Starcruiser, is skillfully combined. Meanwhile, Nicholson’s hilarious comedic timing continues to shine brighter than most contemporary documentarians, not to mention other YouTube video essayists.

16. How to Have Sex (dir. Molly Manning Walker)

Joy can curdle into trauma so quickly. A stroll down the street while listening to bubbly music can suddenly get interrupted by sexual harassment from some male passerby. Writer/director Molly Channing Walker infuses that reality into How to Have Sex. Initially, teenage best pals Tara (Mia McKenna-Bruce), Skye (Lara Peake), and Em (Enva Lewis) are all convinced their weekend trip to Malia will be one to remember. While here, Tara experiences unspeakable sexual trauma, an experience Walker’s filmmaking and McKenna-Bruce’s performance both vividly realize on-screen. A whip-smart script showing how survivors of sexual violence are marginalized even after their traumatic experiences just makes the production even more heartbreaking to watch. How to Have Sex is a devastating work and a remarkable showcase for Mia McKenna-Bruce as a leading lady.

15. Challengers (dir. Luca Guadagnino)

In a more straightforward and conversational style: The movie Challengers isn’t just awesome; it’s sensual and bold. Director Luca Guadagnino doesn’t shy away from incorporating suggestive imagery, like bananas and churros, throughout the film, adding to the erotic atmosphere. The intense camerawork and Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross’s score create a pulse-pounding experience. Zendaya delivers an exceptional performance that even earned her a Golden Globe nomination. While the two male leads are entertaining, it’s Zendaya who truly steals the show – so much so that you might find yourself cheering when she outsmarts a cocky tennis player in an alleyway, just like Homer Simpson said, “in some ways, you and I are different people.

14. The Wild Robot (dir. Chris Sanders)

Similar to some of the most captivating animated films, “The Wild Robot” is visually stunning in every sense. The backdrops are meticulously painted, creating a realistic environment, while the character designs show traces of hand-drawn artistry. Every aspect of the film, from its sincere handling of emotion to Roz, the robot without a mouth or highly expressive face, is as breathtakingly beautiful as it is emotionally impactful, thanks to the direction by Chris Sanders and Lupita Nyong’o’s voice-over performance.

13. Kneecap (dir. Rich Peppiatt)

2024 saw one of the year’s most captivating films, titled “Kneecap“. In terms of music biopics not named “Better Man“, this film about an Irish rap group stands head and shoulders above the rest. The filmmaking for “Kneecap” was so energetic and vibrant, it felt as if the camera work and editing were living characters themselves. What sets this movie apart is its unique blend of raw humor and heartfelt emotion. It’s a powerful tale about embracing your language and culture…and it doesn’t shy away from explicit lyrics. “Kneecap” was a cinematic event you simply couldn’t afford to miss.

12. Green Border (dir. Agnieszka Holland)

Since I watched Agnieszka Holland’s film “Green Border” earlier this year, I’ve found myself frequently thinking about the character Leila (played by Behi Djanati Atai). In this movie, she is one of several immigrant characters seeking entry into the European Union and a more secure life. Unlike her fellow immigrants, Leila firmly believes that, due to her brother’s past cooperation with the U.S. military, justice will prevail in this new land. She trusts that powerful individuals will eventually rectify any atrocities inflicted upon her and her loved ones. However, this desired outcome never materializes. There is a profound, heart-wrenching disconnect between Leila’s interpretation of the world and its reality.

In simpler terms, Green Border, a film by Holland, powerfully portrays a world reflecting our own, where treating strangers inhumanely is common, not an aberration. The movie shows how the dehumanization of immigrants is accepted rather than condemned. However, it’s only through solidarity among working-class individuals that redemption can be found. Green Border showcases Holland at her best, making it no surprise that characters like Leila have left a lasting impression.

11. The Brutalist (dir. Brady Corbet)

At the beginning of the 2020s, many of us found ourselves watching a movie like Bloodshoot in March, masks secured and seats distanced, wondering if this was the end for cinematic experiences. However, the following years have gifted us with a collection of grandiose films that boldly challenge such notions. Movies such as Godland, Babylon, Killers of the Flower Moon, and now The Brutalist are all extensive in scale and pack a punch when viewed on the big screen, proving that cinema is far from disappearing.

In “The Brutalist,” director Brady Corbet’s third filmmaking venture, intricate storytelling techniques are employed to weave a profound allegory about the American immigrant experience. The narrative follows László Tóth (Adrien Brody), a man striving against the relentless tide of capitalism and American prejudice towards immigrants, as he pursues his lofty architectural ambitions. His dream is to design a building that could inspire and transform people. Tragically, this dream becomes a poignant tale, worthy of being included in the pantheon of great epic cinema. It’s an added pleasure to know it was made in the wake of the film “Bloodshot”!

10. Sing Sing (dir. Greg Kwedar)

2024’s masterpiece, Sing Sing, has me captivated, boasting a myriad of complex qualities that make it truly outstanding. Yet, some of its most remarkable aspects are strikingly simple. For instance, the film’s visual aesthetic, captured on 16mm film, is nothing short of breathtaking. Each frame exudes an authenticity that seamlessly matches the deeply experienced characters at the heart of this story. Clarence Maclin’s performance as a supporting character is undeniably captivating, drawing you in from the very moment he appears on screen. Scenes such as the poignant montage of actors auditioning or a former Sing Sing inmate reuniting with friends left me teary-eyed effortlessly. This film is a deeply moving experience skillfully orchestrated by Colman Domingo. I can’t help but envision a doctoral thesis delving into the depths of why Sing Sing is so remarkable. A single scene featuring dialogue between Maclin and Domingo’s characters is enough to fully grasp this movie’s potent impact.

9. Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World (dir. Radu Jade)

In simpler terms, Radu Jade’s newest film, a dark comedy set in 2024, offers a stark look at society as a surreal dystopia. Despite advancements in technology, capitalism and corporate control are ubiquitous, even in cemeteries. The story follows Angela (Ilinca Manolache), an assistant struggling in a toxic work environment. Her day-to-day struggles vividly portray the grim reality of life in this future. Particularly striking are scenes where her employers aim to showcase disabled workers, but only those who fit their definition and don’t criticize their superiors for causing their disabilities. This film cleverly uses inclusive language to protect the wealthy, much like how a large corporation might act!

The movie “Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World” beautifully depicts a live-action dystopia, using captivating clips from Lucian Bratu’s film “Angela merge mai departe” and an extended, skillfully executed single-take sequence towards its end.

8. Aattam (dir. Anand Ekarshi)

2024 cinema has a recurring theme that delves beyond loneliness, focusing on solidarity found among individuals at lower social rungs. For example, films like “Anora” and “The Brutalist” portray working-class unity in stories depicting indifference from the wealthy towards commoners. The drama “Aattam” showcases a poignant scene where Anjali (Zarin Shihab), the sole female actor in an all-male troupe, sacrifices her bed to accommodate another woman and her child at a party. This act of kindness is heartwarming on its own, but it becomes even more moving when the plot unfolds about her male colleagues discussing how to handle a situation where one has sexually assaulted her. “Aattam” powerfully illustrates how seemingly nice individuals can contribute to the dehumanization of marginalized genders and survivors of sexual trauma. This is achieved through exceptional writing, stellar performances, and a gut-wrenching climax that stands out among the best of the year.

This remarkable exploration significantly underscores the strong bond between Anjali and Shajitha, making it even more crucial. In the movie “Aattam,” which portrays the dehumanization of Anjali, the women’s camaraderie stands out as a powerful theme. It’s a subtle yet impactful aspect in a captivating film filled with such thoughtful nuances.

7. The People’s Joker (dir. Vera Drew)

Bring on the circus performers, especially those conjured by Vera Drew’s mind! After years trapped in legal limbo, The People’s Joker made its grand entrance onto movie screens this year, striking as a rebellious flash of lightning. Filled with emotional depth and brimming with visual creativity (the Bat-Cave depicted like a Minecraft level or a late 90s PC game is genius), this satirical film breathed new life into comic book characters that have taken over pop culture. Unlike many other comic book adaptations in 2024, which dug through the dregs of nostalgia, Drew intriguingly pondered how a story based in Gotham could be unlike anything else on Earth.

Amidst ribald humor and skillful performance, there was a deeply moving storyline that resonated profoundly. It’s challenging to switch from lighthearted chaos to deep emotion, but Drew managed it masterfully. The People’s Joker was an uproarious critique of societal norms and conventional filmmaking methods – something we probably shouldn’t have enjoyed… yet craved!

6. No Other Land (dir. Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham, Rachel Szor)

The 1920s saw the rise in popularity of the documentary style with films like “Nanook of the North,” which presented misleading depictions of Indigenous lives as truth. In contrast, the documentary “No Other Land” challenges the foundations of documentary cinema to expose brutal realities. Homes destroyed, schools wiped out, and wells filled with cement are just some of the atrocities documented in this film. “No Other Land” offers a chilling account of these crimes, earning a place among the most harrowing documentaries ever made. Scenes of director Basel Adra being pursued by Israeli Defense Force soldiers while recording their actions are striking, while quiet moments showing Palestinians struggling to survive under challenging circumstances are equally compelling. Overall, “No Other Land” is a brilliant subversion of the documentary genre that stands out as both innovative and emotionally impactful filmmaking.

5. All We Imagine as Light (dir. Payal Kapadia)

In “All We Imagine as Light,” I was immediately captivated, with its breathtaking opening scene masterfully blending grand visuals with personal voiceovers from diverse Mumbai residents. Right away, writer-director Payal Kapadia demonstrates that she hasn’t missed a beat in terms of creativity since her work on “A Night of Knowing Nothing.” The film unfolds as a subtle, understated tale about two Malayali nurses struggling to survive in Mumbai, one that grips both your eyes and your soul.

Within a somber setting, intense feelings steer the narrative of “All We Imagine as Light,” such as Anu (Divya Prabha) secretly buying clothes to infiltrate her lover’s home, Shiaz (Hridhu Haroon). Striking visuals, like the lead character Prabha (Kani Kusruti) nestled with a rice cooker at night or the movie’s climactic indelible scene, also hold their ground on the screen within “All We Imagine as Light.” Above all, “Light” solidified Kusruti as one of my current favorite actresses, her performance in this film and in the 2024 gem “Girls Will be Girls” showcases her versatility. It’s a joy to witness such a captivating artist spearhead an immediate classic like “All We Imagine as Light.

4. The Seed of the Sacred Fig (dir. Mohammad Rasoulof)

We are all connected. The strife of the outside world can never be fully divorced from our everyday lives, no matter how much some may want that. The Seed of the Sacred Fig is a miracle of a movie that vividly captures this reality through a domestic drama chronicling a family slowly falling apart against the backdrop of widespread protests in Tehran. Confined to largely just the principal family’s house, Sacred Fig is a propulsive and enthralling production that makes 167 minutes fly by in the blink of an eye.

In “The Seed of the Sacred Fig,” filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof skillfully creates tension-filled scenes that are truly captivating to watch. Reminiscent of films like “Madchen in Uniform,” “For Sama,” and “Salt of the Earth,” this movie’s very existence is remarkable. To add to its appeal, it’s not only relevant but also incredibly engaging.

3. Anora (dir. Sean Baker)

I can’t help but remember the thrill of watching “Anora” for the first time and spending nearly half of the movie on the edge of my seat, anxiously contemplating in my mind, “Here’s where Ani is going to play her hidden trump card and turn things around in this predicament.” I was convinced she wouldn’t lose her marriage, that there had to be a way for her to come out victorious. The screenplay by writer/director Sean Baker drew me so deeply into Ani’s struggle that I would have followed her anywhere… making the heart-wrenching ending even more devastating to experience.

2024 was a year of cinematic solitude, and Anora brilliantly captured the illusion of upward mobility in contemporary America. It was an exquisitely melancholic portrayal of life in that year, but it also had me rolling with laughter, especially during the hilarious scene where Igor tosses around that metal bat outside! Mikey Madison’s electrifying performance in this film made it a standout, and as a fan of Tangerine, Starlet, and Florida Project, I couldn’t help but get completely engrossed in Anora.

2. Nickel Boys (dir. RaMell Ross)

The film “Nickel Boys” significantly altered my perspective on cinema. Upon watching this masterpiece by director RaMell Ross, I found myself unable to consume movies as I once did. Suddenly, every camera angle in a movie, whether it was a horror flick or a drama, captured my attention due to the hidden meanings they conveyed. The innovative cinematography of Ross and Jomo Fray is truly astounding, as are many other aspects of this unique production. For instance, the sound design makes even the most ordinary things, such as marbles rolling down a staircase, incredibly impactful. This film’s full-on commitment to a compelling non-linear story structure also radiates a level of artistic confidence that is irresistible. Even seemingly straightforward elements, like the beautiful way natural light is captured by Fray’s cinematography, left an indelible impression on my memory.

The unique film “Nickel Boys” effortlessly evokes awe and tears in equal measure, leaving it possible that traditional filmmaking techniques may seem less appealing after viewing this exceptional production.

1. Hundreds of Beavers (dir. Mike Cheslik)

The theme of man versus nature is an age-old narrative structure that has been explored by numerous authors, such as Jack London and Larisa Shepitko, to name a few. However, none have approached this concept quite like the film “Hundreds of Beavers.” This film, which combines elements of classic silent comedies and Looney Tunes cartoons, manages to maintain an uproarious tone for its full 110-minute runtime. One wouldn’t expect such consistent hilarity, but “Beavers” delivers it in spades. The writer/director Mike Cheslik, along with leading actor Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, has crafted a fictional world that escalates absurdly and keeps the audience in stitches. As Yogi Bear might say, “The jokes just keep on coming.” The film finds inventive ways to incorporate even the most implausible jokes into its plotline, making for a winter-themed comedy extravaganza that doesn’t let up on the laughter.

This production, “Hundreds of Beavers,” is a unique comedy that tells its jokes using creative homemade visuals. These include people wearing animal costumes to represent rabbits, raccoons, and beavers. The low-fi aesthetic harmoniously blends it with silent cinema influences, while the performances by Tews and Olivia Graves are noteworthy. The film stands out for its continuous humor, whether it’s a recurring joke about dogs playing poker, a screaming puppet frog, or an unforgettable gag involving gay rabbits in a movie.
