The Sun Never Sets marks a confident return for Swanberg, bolstered by a stellar performance from Fanning and a thoughtful, often painful exploration of love, growth, and the realization that fulfillment doesn’t always come from another person.

An empowering anthem to the female spirit, Edie Arnold is a Loser is loud, messy, and full of heart; an energetic joy that understands imperfection as a strength, not a flaw.

It’s one of the best horror films of 2026 so far—and that’s saying something. A perfect SXSW midnighter, Never After Dark proves Dave Boyle knows how to craft a lovingly epic nightmare.

Hokum
(2026)
|
Kevin L. Lee

There’s something to be appreciated about Hokum’s old-fashioned approach to ghost stories. The supernatural threat looms not just as an evil force that kills, but also like a traumatic memory that cannot be shaken.
