Each week we highlight the noteworthy titles that have recently hit streaming platforms in the United States. Check out this week’s selections below and past round-ups here.
Elvis (Baz Luhrmann)
Few filmmakers embrace artistic dichotomy like Baz Luhrmann. The Australian writer-director known for epic, ornate, long-gestating projects has become synonymous with both extravagant innovation and chaotic fluff. He is a walking, talking, directing state of creative contrast. “Six films into his career” might make it seem like he’s a relative newcomer, but Luhrmann’s been helming giant features since his 1996 tropical Ed Hardy rendition of Romeo + Juliet, which pales in scintillation to Elvis. – Luke H. (full review)

I Love My Dad (James Morosini)
Inspired by actual events, I Love My Dad contains a cringe-worthy premise that should easily fall apart, as Franklin (James Morosini), a young-ish man, should have grown up with an awareness of the term “catfishing.

"Poser" is about artists. It's set in the art scene of Columbus, Ohio, where a podcaster named Lennon (Sylvie Mix) becomes enchanted with the city's variety of talent. There's an eclectic soundtrack, but for the most part, it leans heavy on the local punk music. It's an aggressive sound that composers Shawn Sutta and Adam Robl contrast with more gentle, string-based music.
The composing duo have worked together for over 15 years, with their first collaboration happening when the duo was in college. They ultimately became co-composers in the world of film through a funny twist of fate, which they recently told us...

"We're excited to show the world Columbus, Ohio."
Directors Ori Segev and Noah Dixon bring the city's art scene to light in their low-key thriller, "Poser." Lennon Gates (Sylvie Mix) is a podcaster and an artist without a voice, but she becomes obsessed with one voice in particular. The wallflower sets her sights on the lead singer of Damn the Witch Siren, Bobbi Kitten. With shades of "The King of Comedy," Lennon starts to emulate and stalk the artist.
It's a story already widely embraced by the community in Columbus, Ohio. Last weekend, the film opened in the city and made 15,250 at one theater, the Gateway Film Center....

Noah Dixon and Ori Segev’s “Poser” is a confident film that melds fact and fiction and fuses multiple genres together to create a tense, compelling and thorny exploration of the relationship between creators and their hangers-on. Organized around podcast episodes that Lennon (Sylvie Mix) creates as a way to ingratiate herself within the Columbus, Oh underground music scene, the film takes its title quite literally — playing up the awkward, and ultimately anxious interactions she has with indie musicians before trying to become one of them, creating some music of her own.

Hailing from the small city of Columbus, Ohio, filmmakers Ori Segev and Noah Dixon have made their directorial debut with Poser, which premiered to much acclaim at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival. Now arriving in theaters, it’s a unique blend of satire, dark humor recalling Yorgos Lanthimos, and obsession-led thrills to create a wholly unique visual atmosphere that also matches the genres of the local music scene.
Poser stars Sylvie Mix as “Lennon Gates,” a shy, monotonous podcaster who uses her strange approach to recording sound to find a throughline into the local arts scene in hopes she can fit in. Upon interviewing local bands for her podcast, she attempts to steal their lyrics and pass them off as her own. She then discovers the bubbly and charismatic Bobbi Kitten (playing herself) and a dark tale of obsession and lies unfolds. Poser marks an incredible debut performance from...

One of the most exciting films to come out of 2021’s Tribeca Film Festival was “Poser,” a prickly thriller set in Columbus, Ohio’s underground music scene. The film, which follows a girl who launches a music podcast in an attempt to befriend her punk idols and is quickly sucked down a dark path, earned praise for its bold voice and strong performance from first-time leading actress Sylvie Mix. The film quickly drew comparisons to similarly driven thrillers like “Single White Female,” and its theatrical release has been highly anticipated by many indie film lovers. If you’re one of them, the wait is almost over, as the film has dropped a new trailer and poster ahead of a June theatrical run from Oscilloscope Laboratories.
The official synopsis for “Poser” reads: “Wallflower Lennon Gates (Mix) yearns for access to the inner sanctum of the underground music scene in Columbus, Ohio.

Double Walker (Colin West)
If one is looking for some post-Halloween chills, Colin West’s micro-budget ghost story Double Walker mostly fits the bill, albeit with a few stumbles. Approaching the supernatural with a more grounded feel akin to Paul Harrill’s Light From Light and David Lowery’s A Ghost Story, the film tracks a woman in specter form (a stand-out Sylvie Mix) who tracks down those responsible for her murder. While the production’s limitations can be painfully clear at times, with flat cinematography and flashbacks that feel far too on the nose, the film eventually coheres into a compelling look at the sins of humankind and what may come after death.

If you died and were offered a choice between living one more day as a human or forever as a ghost, invisible to most of those you met, which would you choose? The internet is pretty clear on the answer to this question, with responses to the trailer indicating surprise that anyone would bother to ask, so it’s worth noting that the story Double Walker presents is a bit more complex. ‘Forever’ is not a simple, linear thing. To continue is to remember. Although our heroine (played by co-writer Sylvie Mix) does not, initially, remember how and why she died, she’s going to find out, and then that’s going to stay with her.
When we first see her, she’s wandering through a forest, pale, disorientated, wearing nothing but a short white shift. A man approaches her. He offers help, support. She may be confused but she’s not that naïve.

The saying goes that there are no atheists in a foxhole. I would probably disagree, but I can see the point, as I could understand anyone perhaps trying to bargain their way out of death, or, at least if they weren't prepared for their death, striking a deal that in hindsight, was a bad idea. The idea of everlasting life, with serious consequences, has been explored with interest, as it's quite a philosophical conundrum: would you take just one more day as a human, with the ability to close all your affairs, or would you prefer to live forever, but as a ghost? Filmmaker Colin West and co-writer Sylvie Mix take this conuncrum under investigation in Double Walker, a stripped-down ghost story about one woman's...

If you were given a choice, live one last day as a human, or forever as a ghost, which would you choose? That's a heck of a question to contemplate. Likely in the moment, most of us wouldn't want to die. But the prospect of living forever is not appetizing. Filmmaker Colin West asks us to contemplate this question in his new feature Double Walker, which presents this strange tale through the eyes of someone who did, indeed, make the latter choice. A young Ghost (producer/co-writer Sylvie Mix) haunts her cold Midwestern hometown, trying to piece together the horrific flashes of memories from her past.

Exclusive: Ori Segev and Noah Dixon’s debut feature Poser, which premiered at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, is getting a U.S. theatrical release, after Oscilloscope said Tuesday that it acquired North American rights.
Set in the real-life underground music scene in Columbus, Ohio, the pic centers on Lennon Gates (Sylvie Mix), who yearns for access to the scene. When she creates a podcast to interview the local artists she adores, Lennon discovers her own musical ambitions, developing a fast friendship with the striking, confident performer Bobbi Kitten (playing herself), and in the process creates an identity not wholly her own. Soon, Lennon’s aspirations, with some constructive coaxing from Bobbi to find her voice, lead her down a path of dark obsession.
Drew Johnson, Juli Sasaki, Brett Reiter and Josh Nowak are producers.

Stylish and insidery, “Poser” is enthralled by Columbus, Ohio, particularly its burgeoning independent arts and music scene. It’s a sophisticated, if not cold-to-the-touch psychodrama of elegant visuals and innovative tunes, which debuting co-directors Ori Segev and Noah Dixon (who also scripted) beguilingly steer as a cheeky yet gradually darkening ode to their adoptive city.
So it’s all dimly lit underground clubs, highbrow art gallery corners, gritty warehouses and edgy concert venues here, with an array of impossibly unruffled, coolly clad artists and musicians doing their hip thing with ease. Frankly, their company feels a bit intimidating at first, especially if you are the more mainstream sort not actively pursuing a sampling of alternative music. But thanks to Segev and Dixon’s joint confidence, you feel just comfortable enough within the bowels of the town’s unique indie scene next to ombre-haired Billie Eilish types, even if the film...

Lennon looks the part: teal-tinted hair, cool tattoos, a punky sartorial sense, big headphones. As she sulks around the edges of a gallery opening on the arty side of Columbus, Ohio, she seems to fit in, until you notice… Why isn’t Lennon talking to anyone else? How come no one has said hello to her? And why is she recording the incredibly basic party chatter around her instead of actually partaking in it?
Cut to a title card that, amusingly and painfully, lets us in on the surface truth of Lennon’s existence: The film is called “Poser,” and that is exactly what Lennon is. While the elevator pitch of Ori Segev and Noah Dixon’s prickly feature directorial debut is simple enough — it’s “Single White Female” set in the vibrant Columbus indie scene, with a generous dash of podcast humor — Spiky, funny, feverish, and more than a little nail-biting,...

If one wants their voice heard in the year 2021, start a podcast. So it goes for Lennon (Sylvie Mix), a poser with some delusional behaviors who lies to cultivate her personality to fit into the local art scene. A somewhat familiar story about obsession set adjacent to the unique world of the underground music scene in Columbus, Ohio, Poser is a charming and dark debut from directors Ori Segev and Noah Dixon.
The opening scene finds two people talking about a painting at an art show. The pair comment about the painter’s brush strokes and how it’s about instinct. We then see a quiet, blue-haired Lennon emerge to grab her phone that she planted next to the painting to record what people are saying. With a classical score in the background, the opening scene feels tragicomic in its suggestion, reminiscent of the recent work of Yorgos Lanthimos. It...
