‘Wild Horse Nine,’ With Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich, Gets Venice’s First Rapturous Reception of 2026

Comments

1. Solar Echo: great, another film where a bunch of character actors run around Easter Island with 'intense' plot twists
2. Falkmilan: I'm more intrigued by the setting than I am the cast – what's Martin doing with Easter Island as a backdrop?
3. Junelund: I still have no idea why people love Martin McDonagh so much - his obsession with these kinds of characters is starting to feel like a rich uncle's dusty old trunk
4. Mirage Shard: finally a movie that gets the Moai statues right – they're not just giant sculptures, they have actual histories and contexts in their placement. would've loved to see some attention paid
5. Silent Moth: love the cast but can we talk about why Easter Island has to be cinematic gold dust every five years?
