Program Note
When a serial killer, Neville, murders Irene's teenage daughter, Anna, she takes it upon herself to avenge the death by jumping through the multiverse and killing him over and over again, through the use of her time machine. The repeated killings have created a void in Irene, and when she meets Mia, a runaway teen, and saves her from being murdered, her sole salvation now is to bring Mia home alive, just as in the case with Anna. Revenge thrillers have been a staple in cinema, offering essential storytelling, but with Redux Redux , brothers Mathew and Kevin McManus have created something truly unique in this genre. This is a clever, mind-melting sci-fi thriller, featuring a star-making performance by Michaela McManus, a sister of the writing-directing duo, whose grief and vengeance drive the film throughout. You won't be forgetting this film anytime soon. (Jongsuk Thomas NAM)
