SXSW 2022: 20 Movies You Need To Know About
14. Linoleum
One of the fest's most buzzed-about titles, Linoleum is a deliciously twisty character drama about a man, Cameron (a superb Jim Gaffigan), who enters a mid-life crisis just as a series of increasingly bizarre happenings occur around him - namely a satellite falling from the sky and crashing into his house.
Melding a clear love of science with quirky character-driven comedy, Linoleum is a stylish, perfectly cast indie that has more than a few clever tricks up its sleeve, most of which can't even be hinted at here.
Gaffifan and Rhea Seehorn (playing his wife) are terrific in the central roles, in a film that's sure to generate much discussion when it reaches a wider audience. Don't sleep on it.
Linoleum is currently seeking distribution.
