    Ratcatcher – What’s New Pussycat?

    Feb 2026

    We Need to Talk About Kevin – Deliver Us From Eva

    Feb 2026

    "Oti notes the event itself, even Franklin and Celia's deaths, is only seen after the fact; KT appreciates that, since many filmmakers go for shock and awe, and says violence isn't the point."
