halfway through the film there’s a scene that should stick for the cinema year in review 2026: our protagonist couple watches Roman Holiday, screened with a projector on a sheet put up between two trees in the middle of a beautiful forest at night. they have what could be described as the film’s deepest talk, hinting at the themes laying beyond (commitment in a romantic relationship, looking for a home vs running away) - which is accompanied by fitting text…
how did A24 not secure this for their portfolio? ideas of co-dependency, consensus, projection & the scrutinizing of romantic concepts meet "elevated horror", genre nostalgia & cringe humor. sounds like that would have fit like a custom-designed glove for the indy powerhouse.
I dig that Curry Baker lowbudget-immersing himself into this adventure without double bottom - not surprising considering he's coming over from the land of YouTube. Obsession has a lot of good ideas and a mostly decent execution to offer. it's…

the Parasite follow up is by no means an arthouse flick, and therefore it's now easier to understand why it couldn't enter Cannes nor Venice…
Don't stop till they get enough, they can't help it & don't care about us, guess it's Human Nature? - Black or White (white edition) - it's Bad, not gonna Heal the World, so now Beat It.
the inevitable cash grab. you know what you get into here, smelling it miles against the wind. the Jackson estate controls this thing up to the point they prompted reshoots to alter the image of the pop legend into fully sugarcoated terrain. the lovely,…
