Vulture's critics track notable films from blockbusters to indie originals, organized by U.S. premiere dates. 'Blue Heron' is an autobiographical film by Sophy Romvari, exploring her childhood and family dynamics through a blend of documentary and fiction. Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei's film offers a modern take on the original 'Faces of Death,' focusing on a content moderator's obsession with potentially real murders. This horror film critiques society's desensitization to violence and the commodification of tragedy.
"'Blue Heron' is a tender but devastating work that exists in the netherworld between documentary and fiction, allowing a filmmaker to get to a greater truth."
"'Faces of Death' is a clever, nastily-contemporary riff on the original, exploring the urge to rubberneck at gore and the pride in being unshaken by it."
