Movie Review: “Something in the Dirt,” “You Won’t Be Alone,” and “Emily the Criminal” (Sundance Film Festival)

Movie Review: “Something in the Dirt,” “You Won’t Be Alone,” and “Emily the Criminal” (Sundance Film Festival)

Something in the Dirt The filmmaking duo of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead consistently turn out compelling, thought-provoking genre films, and their fifth and latest feature, Something in the Dirt, may be their best yet. The duo proved in 2017’s The Endless that they are as solid in front of the camera as behind it, and they bring that multihyphenate magic on both sides once again here in a spellbinding tale of two men who witness what seems to be a supernatural miracle in one of their apartments. The event sends hard-luck case Levi (Benson) and religious neighbor John (Moorhead) down a rabbit hole where one conspiracy theory leads to another and so on.
