REVIEWS
On April 9, 2026, they performed at the Accor Arena in Paris, France, to the delight of the fans. It had been 10 years since they last came to the massive hall and filled its 20,300 seats and the Australian band was determined to show just how much they had grown since then.
Balancing the film’s weaker moments and its tendency to rely on rather superficial aspects of its story, Zendaya and Pattinson both deliver impressively nuanced interpretations and manage to bring a strong physicality to the internal struggles of their characters.
Shot over the course of only 18 days, Wasteman (2026) is an adrenaline rush that never subsides. It is a pressure cooker of a film. There is a consistent, thrumming tension in even the stillest moments thanks to a searing script by Hunter Andrews and Eoin Doran.
INTERVIEWS
Ahead of its screening at South by Southwest 2026, we had the chance to speak with Director Renée Marie Petropoulos and Producer Yingna Lu on their insight into the Souvenir’s depiction of boundaries in relationships and uncomfortable power dynamics.
Through tight acting, eerily realistic practical effects, and a suspenseful climax, the film is a graphic depiction of the dangers plastic poses even more now that it’s inside of us. We sat with Director Guy Trevellyan and Actress Anna Popplewell to discuss these themes.
With decisive visuals, fantastic performances, and a genre-defying story, The Things You Kill is a brilliant dissection of masculinity, patriarchal inheritance, and cyclical violence. We had a chance to sit down with the writer-director to untangle the film’s themes and explore how his background as a self-described man between nations contributed to their development.
