‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’Directed by Jane Schoenbrun (R)★★★★“There is absolutely no one else, alive or dead, who could have made a feature that looks and feels like this one,” said Ryan Lattanzio in IndieWire.

‘The Samurai and the Prisoner’Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Not rated)★★★The “detached, dispassionate” tenor of Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s new film “recalls the work of another Kurosawa,” said Tim Grierson in the Los Angeles Times.
But fans of Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s great horror films “may be thrown off by his new movie’s relatively muted approach.”
This isn’t a samurai film but “a refined murder mystery dressed up in feudal garb.”
