With the post-COVID-19 world finally allowing in-person screenings, there are a lot of hotly anticipated indie films to look out for this 2023. Luckily, movie buffs and casual enjoyers alike have plenty to look forward to throughout the year.
Today, we’ll be taking a look at some of the most anticipated features to consider adding to your “watch list.” The Pod Generation This picture features Emilia Clarke and Chiwetel Ejiofor, leading a futuristic comedy set in a world where couples can rent detachable, artificial wombs called “pods”, allowing for shared pregnancies and flexible parenting. The film raises very interesting ideas about the role of technology in fertility and parenthood, meaning this feature will no doubt be a talking point at dinner tables. Cat Person Nothing quite captures the anxiety of online dating quite like Kristen Reoupenian’s short story Cat Person, published in 2017. This romantic comedy thriller became a viral hit for its sinister story unraveling a courtship that turns bitter, complete with ghosting, catfishing, and red flags everywhere. Susanna Fogel, who co-wrote Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart, is at the helm of the much-anticipated movie rendition. There’s high hopes that this film is going to take a stab at breaking the internet just like the story did. Look out for Oscar-winning Coda’s Emilia Jones and breakout star Nicholas Braun in their lead roles. Eileen Based on Ottessa Moshfegh’s chart-topping novel, the movie adaption follows the unraveling of the iconic Eileen Dunlop, a misanthropic woman stuck in a rut both personally and professionally. When a charismatic new member of the staff, Rebecca, joins the office, their friendship flourishes. However, things take a devious turn when Rebecca influences Eileen into participating in a heinous crime. Thomasin McKenzie plays a sublime role as the slightly odd Eileen, while Anne Hathaway provides an award-worthy performance as the seductive Rebecca. Sometimes I Think About Dying Main character Fran finds herself to be a ghost in her own life. Isolated in her dreary office job, she passes the time wishing she couldn’t simply disappear. That is until a dynamic new hire, Robert, arrives and tries to strike up a friendship with her. Daisy Ridley provides a stellar performance as the alienated Fran, a woman who craves human interaction but struggles with the real-life demands of partnership. Run Rabbit Run A psychological thriller that was the talk of the 2023 Sundance Film Festival is set to make waves. Succession’s Sarah Snook takes on the identity of a frazzled mother struggling to make sense of her daughter’s unexplained emotional decline in the days after her seventh birthday. The film is an exploration of the anxieties that come with motherhood, as well as a personal reckoning for the main character. Directed by Daina Reid, the film is widely anticipated considering she was nominated for an Emmy for The Handmaid’s Tale, so you ought to expect a stunning portrayal of trauma and grief.
