Heel (2025)

AKA: Good Boy

A family takes in a wayward youth and attempts to subjugate and reform him against his will, keeping him chained up in their cellar to break him of his rude habits. What's fun is how casually the concept is introduced and how quickly they all become acclimated to their situation. It's one of those films where you think you know what you're going to get, but it still manages to surprise you.

Anniversary (2025)

Would you like to spend a 25th wedding anniversary with an insufferable group of people? How about two hours? At the center is a new political movement, called "The Change" which sets to tear this family apart. An awful movie where everything is black and white, and details are kept from the audience in order to keep it as generic as possible to serve its shallow agenda.
