The Fisher ('26 Paul Soriano): Pretty bad. Awkward and repetitive, with wackily thin characters.

Whalefall ('26 Brian Duffield): As with the novel, I'm not super convinced by all the dad stuff. But all the whale stuff is top notch.

Genre but make it auteur. QCinema presents GENRE'TEURS: a festival-wide focus on films where genre meets auteur vision. From crime and horror to sci-fi and dark comedy, the lineup celebrates filmmakers who make the familiar indelibly their own. Here are the first few titles:

Stuck On You ('26 Mikko Baldoza): I appreciate how hard Xyriel Manabat works in this. Movie's a mess, though.
