The South by Southwest film and TV festival, commonly known (at least in print) as SXSW, is upon us once again, promising another star-packed week of blockbuster premieres, indie gems, and everything in between. Whether you’re actually attending the Austin, TX-based festival hoping to pick up a single ticket or two, or just observing from afar, you might be wondering which films are going to grab the most attention this year. The festival is a prime opportunity for upcoming releases to build momentum that they can ride into eventual theatrical releases. So, let’s take a closer look at 10 movies poised to get people talking at this year’s festival.

Hindu John Wick.
We Are All Going to the World’s Fair was chilling? OK. It’s fair to say my mileage varied.
Also, between his work on Dredd, Sunshine, Ex Machina, and Annihilation (overdue for a re-watch on those last 2), Alex Garland has shaped up to be one of the most interesting filmmakers out there. But I hope Men didn’t signal a rising interest in pseudo-Lynchian weirdness just for the hell of it.
Full TitleImmaculate: Sydney Sweeney is also God’s Celebrity Freebie.
I am not even kidding when I say that might be the exact outfit I wore for New Year’s Eve Y2K
I Saw the TV Glow sounds like it might be a Videodrome for a new generation. Sounds cool.
God the writing here has become so cheesy, hacky, cliched, boring, back of a vhs tape promotional. Are any of you real humans? Is it all just Chat GPT and fake faces? Because it all sounds the same. Looking at you “Matthew Jackson” whose shitty repetitive verbiage sounded exactly like “Cindy White” in the list published yesterday. You’re not even making an effort with those names.
I mean, I could show you my driver’s license (and all the other stories I’ve written here), but sounds like you’ve already made up your mind.
The number of people who apparently visit this site just to hate-read or because it gives them a target for condescension is kinda mind-boggling.
I mean, fuck the Herbs, but come on.
Nice try , that’s EXACTLY what an AI would say!….although THIS reply is also exactly the same kind of uninspired, generic come back that an ….wait , am I am AI? an AI? an AI an AI an Aaaaaa_<_=?????£^%.
The list looks very interesting. I think the last one “Idea of You” is most interesting of all because it seems very generic. Has word of mouth about this been very, very good?
