Micro Queers is back with a spoiler-filled dive into director Kelly Kali's Jagged Mind (2023), the Hulu feature adaptation of screenwriter Allyson Morgan's Bite Sized Halloween short First Date.We're big fans of lead actors Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Shannon Woodward, who are imminently watchable in this time loop relationship thriller, though the narrative is a touch repetitive and we have questions about how the magic works.

Welcome to the world of Yorgos Lanthimos and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017).Pulling from Euripides' Greek tragedy "Iphigenia in Aulis," this divisive film deftly balances pitch black, absurd comedy (children falling!

Don't worry, we go all in on the film's many production troubles.Plus: watersports, penis POV, a miscast Jack Nicholson, Magical Indigenous Character, doggy style sexual assault (yes, really), publishing house drama and some very twitchy ears.
