Kane Parsons turns internet liminal horror into a feature about the violence of mapping the un-mappable — and only weakens it when the movie starts labeling its own walls.

Lunara Review
PASSENGER
Passenger has a premise built for silence, distance, and accumulation, then keeps stopping to annotate the nightmare. The Passenger does not exactly pursue them. It accompanies them. It appears at the next stop, then the next lonely stretch of road, always somehow ahead, always folded back into the route.

The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)
The Mandalorian and Grogu plays like a fan edit, a season recut to pull the filler and leave only the plot. And the discovery the movie makes, without meaning to, is that the filler was the show. Pull it out and there is no spine underneath.
