Episode 568 – Tribeca 2025 Coverage (Part 4)

The home stretch—but still plenty of cinematic gems In our fourth and (almost) final installment of Tribeca 2025 coverage, the Moviewallas trio—Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi—review a diverse batch of seven films from around the globe. This episode brings emotional highs, auteur visions, and the most gloriously camp zombie rave ever put to screen. Esta Isla (This Island) – A soulful, Spanish-language debut set in coastal Puerto Rico, blending crime, romance, and self-discovery. A tender meditation on escape and reckoning, already picked up for distribution. Twinless – Yazdi’s favorite of the festival. A dazzling, witty, visually inventive story about grief, friendship, and unexpected connections—anchored by brilliant performances from James Sweeney and Dylan O’Brien. Inside – An Australian prison drama exploring cycles of violence, redemption, and institutional failure. Anchored by powerful turns from Guy Pearce and Cosmo Jarvis. The Wolf, The Fox and The Leopard – A heavy, visually stunning, and ambitious dystopian fable from David Verbeek. Over-directed in the best way, it’s a work of vision and cinematic muscle. HoneyJoon – A delicate, Azores-set tale of a mother-daughter vacation that quietly wrestles with grief, revolution, and generational tension. Warm, intimate, and deceptively deep. In Cold Light – A stylish, frantic thriller starring Maika Monroe and Troy Kotsur. Strong performances, but a plot that left us wishing for more clarity and cohesion. Queens of the Dead – A bonkers drag-zombie rave that’s as campy as it is chaotic. The fever dream child of Shaun of the Dead and RuPaul’s Drag Race. Not for everyone… but you’ll know if it’s for you. Special thanks to the filmmakers, Tribeca staff, and the unsung heroes who make festivals like this magic. We’ll be back with a wrap-up episode soon!
