Strange Darling Interview: The Best Movie of 2023 You Don’t Know About — Yet

I saw a lot of great movies at Fantastic Fest 2023, but the best of the bunch is a movie that likely isn’t on your radar just yet. It’s J.T. Mollner’s second feature film, Strange Darling starring Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner.

Given the film’s nonlinear narrative structure, it’s a challenging one to synopsize without running the risk of ruining some of its brilliant twists and turns, so I’ll lean on the official Fantastic Fest description to provide context; “One day in the twisted love life of a serial killer.” Yes, that’s it. That’s all you’re getting for right now. But do know it’s an expertly executed premise with two jaw-dropping lead performances from Fitzgerald and Gallner.

While in Austin celebrating Strange Darling’s world premiere, Mollner visited the Collider interview studio for a spoiler-free discussion about the making of the film. He details the reality of getting a green light on a second feature, broke down why he chose Fitzgerald and Gallner for the lead roles, discussed the benefits of shooting Strange Darling on 35mm, and loads more. Hear all about it straight from Mollner in this Strange Darling interview!

Strange Darling doesn’t have a release date just yet, but trust me when I tell you, you’ll want to make it a priority as soon as it’s announced.
