Next Exit (2022)

Next Exit (2022). Next Exit: Directed by Mali Elfman. With Gavin Powers, Joe Powers, Katie Parker, Karen Gillan. Two unhappy strangers find themselves on a road trip across the U.S. to partake in a scientist's radical experiment with the afterlife in Mali Elfman's poignant sci-fi debut.

“No pun intended – yes the two main actors played key roles in a Mike Flannigan show. Actually the male lead was also quite impactful in Midnight Mass – and will be in the next show of Flannigan too. So no surprise he got thanked in the credits.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMaybe because the two seem very comfortable with each other. And when I say that, I donu0026#39;t mean they hit it off as characters, but their chemistry is really something to behold. A road movie can get boring or stall at some point. I never felt that there was a chance of that happening here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd that is a testament to the movie, script, director but also the actors of course. There are episodes on the road and there is the goal they want to reach. The goal that includes Karen Gillian – another collaborator from Flannigans past (Oculus, highly recommended), though you may know her from the MCU as Nebula.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut again the main focus is the duo and their journey. The dialog feels fresh and real – the characters while flawed and on a self destructive trip do connect with the viewer. Really well made and while it may not really answer questions about after life (or maybe it does for you?), it is more than worth a watch.”
