Coup!
By Paul Weissman August 1, 2024

Caddyshack by way of the Coen brothers.
A documentary that takes as its premise that more insurrections are inevitable, and therefore must be anticipated.
An erotic, queer serial killer movie in the tradition Alain Guiraudie’s Stranger by the Lake and William Friedkin’s Cruising.
A massive earthquake tears through Seoul, yet somehow, one apartment complex manages to survive intact.
An efficient but otherwise less than compelling addition to the whistleblower canon, starring Isabelle Huppert.
An intriguing, elegantly-crafted psychological portrait that is a hidden gem in the horror genre.
Writer/director Emerald Fennell dares you not to clutch your pearls.
A visually striking film that explores trauma, revenge, guilt, and, ultimately, forgiveness.
