Iron Butterflies (2023)

This remake of the Disney Channel Original Movie of the same name brings a strong representative cast.

These confines won’t really encourage you to read the film as a metaphor for the nerve-inducing experience we’ve all been through over the last year, however — and in the interest of maintaining your dignity, you probably shouldn’t. While the sociopolitical commentary may have worked for the similarly-themed Buried (2010), in which we find Ryan Reynolds on his own buried alive in the Middle East, but this futuristic take on the premise is best left as a piece of distracting entertainment. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.

"Driveways" is a nuanced portrait of an Asian American family, touching on themes of loss, growth, and belonging.

A young woman finds herself trapped in a crossfire of awkwardness during a nightmarish dinner party with her boyfriend's dysfunctional family.

Not every silence is empty. Some are filled with things too heavy for words.
