Laroy (2023)
In third place on Rotten Tomatoes Best Movies of 2024 list, with a rare 100% critics’ rating, Laroy tells the story of Ray, who decides he’s going to kill himself after discovering that his wife is cheating on him. But his plans suddenly change when a stranger mistakes him for a low-rent hitman.
The crime comedy stars John Magaro (Past Lives, The Many Saints of Newark) and Emmy nominees Steve Zahn (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones) and Dylan Baker (The Good Wife).
Not released in South African cinemas, Laroy was nominated for Best New Narrative Director at Tribeca for Shane Atkinson. RogerEbert.com says, “Atkinson’s hilarious feature debut is a barn burner of a western-thriller” with “Coen Brothers-inspired nods.”
