SXSW 2022: 20 Movies You Need To Know About

11. The Cow

Winona Ryder stars as a middle-aged woman whose boyfriend (John Gallagher Jr.) goes missing during their weekend cabin retreat, causing her to suspect the young couple (Owen Teague and Brianne Tju) who seemingly double-booked the cabin.

The Cow is a film you're absolutely better off watching without knowing too much, such are the twisted depths of its mysteries and revelations.

The direction it goes in certainly won't be for everyone - hence the wildly polarising reviews out of SXSW - yet filmmaker Eli Horowitz maintains smooth, uneasy control of the increasingly dire situation throughout.

Above all else it's great to see Ryder working on a low-fi genre project like this, and hopefully she'll keep at it in the future.

The Cow will release later this year.
