In the meadow, the boundaries between reality and fiction become almost imperceptible. "Pradera" is a photo essay that explores the themes of loneliness in adulthood and human mortality through photographs and videos of miniatures.
Escape The Field is a serviceable horror thriller. The characters are easier to remember as horror character tropes. As I wrote this review, I only remembered the characters by their tropes: #FinalGirl, #Everyman, #Badass, #MeanB*/SexyGirl, #Realist/BlackLesbian, and #TheNerd.
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.

A strong representation of African Americans in this film features evil spirits and horror-themed elements.
The Olivia Wilde renaissance is upon us.
