  • Emilia Pérez — VIFF’s highly anticipated closing gala, “it is a one-of-a-kind thriller that will leave you shocked and singing throughout.” — Rotten Tomatoes

  • Nightbitch — Comedy for women. Horror film for men. A must-see.
  • The Seed of the Sacred Fig — “In a sense, Sacred Fig is a home invasion movie in which the family’s sanctity, and ultimately its physical safety, is threatened by outside forces tearing them apart from the inside as well.” — Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter
  • Pavements — “Pavements is exactly the type of WTF rock doc the band deserves.” — David Fear, Rolling Stone
