Hal Hartley’s first film in 11 years instantly reminds us why, in the 1990s, the cult following for his ironic comedies was just as strong as that for the films of Richard Linklater and Wes Anderson. Everyday contradictions and quirks of ordinary life come together to form a witty, philosophical tapestry that consistently offers an unexpected perspective on the familiar.

Shot from Where to Land, 2025
Where to Land is classic Hartley, collecting a small community of characters to deal with an invented crisis, sold with snappy dialogue and terrific acting.
