Borat isn’t the only good thing to come out of Kazakhstan! Kazakhstani writer/director Yernar Nurgaliev makes his international breakout with his violent comedy Sweetie, You Won’t Believe It. The film had its Texas premiere at this year’s Fantastic Fest, and it sent heads rolling — literally and figuratively — and had the audience in stitches with its hilariously thrilling bloodbath about brotherhood and male bonding.

With Cry Macho, Clint Eastwood climbs back in the Western saddle for the first time since 1992’s classic Unforgiven. After nearly 30 years, his return is hardly a triumph. This ambling slow-burn isn’t without its charms, but its soft-boiled sentiments on masculinity don’t amount to much, either.
