A24 continues its streak of producing critically acclaimed and genre-bending films. This year's list features diverse projects, including the quiet drama 'Janet Planet' directed by Annie Baker. The studio also boasts an ambitious 2024 slate with provocative themes, grand narratives, and star-studded casts.
A24 has been punching above its weight since it got started in 2012, producing a string of thought-provoking, genre-defying gems. It quickly earned an unusual level of renown for a movie studio, with its name becoming shorthand for a particular aesthetic and kind of fresh, dramatic storytelling.
Like that work, Janet Planet is composed of everyday, seemingly mundane interactions and hushed conversations, but which take on greater weight. The film is not perfect, of course, and some viewers may find it a little too quiet and slow-paced, but the right kind of audience will appreciate its restrained approach; its attention to detail is particularly impressive.
While not quite as strong as X and, especially, Pearl, MaXXXine is still an enjoyably dark blend of genre thrills, meta-commentary, and blood-soaked pastiche. Director Ti West's affection for horror and exploitation cinema is clear, helping the movie to be more than the sum of its parts. As always, Mia Goth is down for anything, and her committed performance is a key part of the film's success. Fans are in luck: West has said that a fourth installment in this universe is on the way.
A Different Man is jam-packed with ideas, rich symbols, and meta-commentary, with masks upon masks and personas masquerading as personas. At times, it feels almost Cronenberg-esque. Adding to its power is the fact that the actor who plays Oswald has neurofibromatosis is real life. A Different Man also deserves praise for the way it avoids the expected narrative developments; instead, it heads into far more complicated and compelling terrain.
