simply put: don't fuck with witches.
you will not be coming out on top in that situation. ever.
I will unfortunately be thinking about this movie every single time I go outside to get the mail
SXSW #30:
Legitimately the scariest thing I’ve seen at the festival this year. Reminded me of a lot of Poe stories, particularly The Tell-Tale Heart.
By definition, a romcom is supposed to make us feel, and boy was I all up in my emotions with this one.
A play that transformed into a realistic and relatable love story featuring the ever charming Jonathan Groff and a lovably awkward Karan Soni.

so frigging gay and I love it. My Desi queer heart was bursting with joy the entire time
A crunchy, sweaty, down-and-dirty brawler anchored to a bloody, beating heart. It’s not perfect—it’s flawed and messy and filled with forced decisions just like my life.
It’s maybe not fair to grade the movie on a slight curve based on how much I love Dev Patel and what he went through to make this film, until you grow up and remember that’s exactly how you engage with art.

It marks the feature debut of British theatrical director Sam Yates (‘Vanya’ with Andrew Scott), working with a script moulded by screenwriter Tom Bateman from a concept conceived by the film’s enigmatic star and producer Daisy Ridley. Moving at a measured pace, this tension piece is a visually adventurous…
