Getting sucked into an infinite loop of drugs, men and dizzying mystery? That’s one cure for writer’s block! Frolicking and squabbling across the beaches, clubs, and rooftops of Mexico, Sebastián Silva and Jordan Firstman play hilarious versions of themselves in this absurd and sexy meta-comedy.

The classic tale of clueless youths seeking hallucinogenic euphoria gets a funky twist in Sebastián Silva’s Sundance-winning road trip through the majestic plains of Chile. As American tourists caught in a battle of will, Michael Cera and Gaby Hoffmann are equal parts discomfiting and hilarious.

Winner of the Grand Prize at Sundance and a Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Film, The Maid is a beautifully drawn and stunningly well-acted domestic drama—tense, and ultimately touching. With her magnificent lead performance, Catalina Saavedra conquered the festival circuit.

With echoes of Get Out (not least in casting Caleb Landry Jones), Sebastián Silva’s anxiety-inducing seventh feature turns racially charged microaggressions into high drama. Heightened by unnerving hand-held camerawork and brilliantly cringy performances, Tyrel is a pure social nightmare.
