I was lucky enough to see Wake Up Dead Man last week (thank you, @netflix.com and @iffboston.bsky.social).
It's fantastic and you should go see it! (Except maybe if you have trauma from being raised in a patriarchal Christian faith.)

28 films later, that's a wrap on this year's Fall Focus!
From Broadway biopics to political thrillers and whodunnits to historical musicals, it was a blast sharing some of the season's buzziest films with you.
My wrap-up of the 2025 IFFBoston Fall Focus Festival, where I saw fourteen films over two non-consecutive weeks, comprised of the buzzy titles from other festivals over the year.
