The Best Movies of 2024, According to John Waters


An enthusiastic recollection of the outré offerings you should have seen this year.

A snappy, witty little indie by a new female auteur (who also stars in the film) that brings to mind the best of Woody Allen’s comedies with very different subject matter: hipster women and their sex addictions. The Rocky Cartel Horror Picture Show: This wildly original musical-drama about the Mexican drug syndicate and its trans crime boss hiding in plain sight proves you can sing about anything in a film if it’s well-enough directed. It’s an eerie, surprisingly haunting drama about two young gay coal miners, one of whom licks anal blood off his partner’s stomach and the other eats wax from his lover’s ears before they flee together to foreign shores as immigrants in a doomed floating container.
