Sour Minnows

And while it’s formally imperfect, Atkins’ latest is intellectually remarkable. Rather than diminishing danger by pretending to diagnose it, this unclassifiable, haunting effort ends on a note of bittersweet comfort.

Atkins’ film does capture that feeling of being trapped in your own existential collapse. And for that, it’s a strangely comforting feeling. The world makes less sense every day, but at least we’re not alone.

Atkins has delivered impressive proof that there are still some films you can make now that just won’t go away.

An atypical stoner and body-snatcher film, SOUR MINNOWS proves psychological horror can be just as harrowing as any monster movie.
