        'Ready or Not 2: Here I Come' eats (the rich)

From L to R: Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Samara Weaving.

Feel as though you have a rageful scream perpetually caught in your throat? Wish you had somewhere to put those feelings of frustration and anger over the state of the world? Want some catharsis with a side of bloody revenge, but, you know, legally?
That’s where genre filmmaking becomes such a mental health lifeline, especially horror, and particularly films like Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. Like its predecessor, the film functions as both an adrenaline rush and a darkly hilarious eat-the-rich revenge fantasy, pitting a woman — or in this case two women — against a horde of elitist, sociopathic monsters and letting us watch her cut through them one by one.

The Sundance Film Festival may have already come and gone, but I’m still ruminating on the queer films I caught at this year’s event.
From queer documentaries and dramas to chilling tales ripped from history and our own internal demons, once again Park City, Utah showed up and showed out on the silver screen.

It's official: Pedro Pascal is set to star in Todd Haynes's upcoming movie, De Noche, which was halted in 2025 amid Joaquin Phoenix's abrupt departure. Pascal will reportedly play a "hard-boiled detective opposite Danny Ramirez as his younger lover" — a role originally meant for Phoenix.
De Noche, which has been described as a "subversive love story," centers the "passionate and unexpected love affair between a cop (Pascal) and a boarding school teacher (Ramirez)." The film is set in Los Angeles, on the brink of war, in the 1930s. As the story goes, Pascal's and Ramirez's characters become targets of corrupt politicians and have to escape to Mexico in order to survive.

        'Jaripeo' teases a hidden world of gay hookups in Mexico, but doesn’t totally satisfy

Jaripeo

        Sundance
    
If there is one truth that unites queer people across the globe and throughout time, it’s that we are here, there, and everywhere. In some places, that existence is out, proud, and in full view; in others, we exist in more discreet and hidden ways. It’s one of these latter examples that Jaripeo, a new documentary from directors Efraín Mojica and Rebecca Zweig, which screened at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, seeks to reveal.
The film takes place in the Mexican state of Michoacán and takes its namesake from the rural rodeos that serve as annual gatherings and celebrations for people in the region.
