If you\u2019re among those who have been championing Adam Rehmeier\u2019s \u201cDinner in America\u201d as passionately as I have, and then \u201cSnack Shack,\u201d then this one\u2019s for you. <\/p>\n
Rehmeier\u2019s latest is the romantic crime thriller \u201cCarolina Caroline,\u201d helmed by Rehmeier from a script penned by Tom Dean. Samara Weaving stars with Kyle Gallner, Kyra Sedgwick and Jon Gries among the cast.<\/p>\n
A teaser <\/a>has been released for the film, which is being distributed by Magnolia Pictures. Truthfully, I don\u2019t even have to watch the trailer, you already sold me with a Rehmeier\/Weaving team-up.<\/p>\n Now, \u201cCarolina Caroline\u201d premiered at TIFF last year and was sadly lost amid the festival\u2019s relentless wave of Oscar bait, but the write-ups from the few who have seen it have been positive, earning a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> (based on 16 reviews) and 77 on Metacritic<\/a> (based on 6 critics).<\/p>\n The film revolves around Caroline Daniels (Weaving), a young woman eager to escape her small Texas town, who becomes entangled with a charming but deceptive drifter (Gallner). Together, they embark on a turbulent journey marked by crime, desire, and recklessness across the American Southeast.<\/p>\n Rehmeier has been carving out a niche in the American indie landscape, operating well outside the system with a distinct voice. His most recent film, the coming-of-age comedy \u201cSnack Shack,\u201d was an under-the-radar gem in 2024. He has also already shot his follow-up to \u201cCarolina Caroline,\u201d titled \u201cA Bobby Thing,\u201d which wrapped production in South Africa last fall. That one again stars Kyle Gallner.<\/p>\n \u201cCarolina Caroline\u201d is heading to theaters this summer on June 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re among those who have been championing Adam Rehmeier\u2019s \u201cDinner in America\u201d as passionately as I have,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":344458,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,409,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-344457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=344457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/344458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=344457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=344457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=344457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
