August Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss12 of 19
Medusa Deluxe | On VOD/digital Friday, Aug. 11
Genre: Drama, Mystery
This A24 "single-take" whodunit goes down during a hairstyling competition. Maybe you remember the striking trailer from earlier this summer — it credited hairstylist Eugene Soulemain, who created pieces for Lady Gaga and has a long history in the fashion world. The most encouraging reviews say writer/director Thomas Hardiman for sure knows how to write dialogue, and his cast is note perfect in their delivery. Despite near-universal agreement the screenplay fizzles at its midpoint, this is the sort of director we like to keep tabs on from the beginning.
