The Most Overlooked Movies of 2024
Variety picks a selection of the year's most overlooked movies, from "Chicken for Linda" to "My Old Ass" and "The Order."
Living in a remote medical outpost in the lush jungle, the youths, led by Hector Medina and the exuberant Eros de la Puente as brothers and by Adria Arjona as their caretaker, attempt to play Nirvana songs, befriend wild horses, and explore their sexuality with the heavy knowledge that it could all go bad. Like a cross between a live-action cartoon and a long-lost slapstick film from the silent era, “Hundreds of Beavers” is the bonkers brainchild of out-there amigos Mike Cheslik and Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, who cobbled together a feature-length comedy using customized mascot uniforms they bought online. Directed by Nora Fingscheidt, and based on the bestselling memoir by Amy Liptrot, the film employs an innovative narrative structure, weaving three timelines together as Rona circles the drain during her decade in London, then claws her way toward recovery after returning home to the Orkney Islands in Scotland.
