It’s only natural that the sole American short film to play in this year’s Cannes Film Festival Semaine de la Critique (Critics’ Week) be inspired by another American filmmaker who has made their mark on the festival over and over: David Lynch.

Sam Kuhn’s short “Möbius” is billed as visually arresting film that dips in and out of the consciousness of Stella, a high school girl in the Greater Northwest who is coping with the sudden passing of her true love Sebastian. While re-reading his love notes (all of which end with “Stella, she makes my heart soar,” never discount the emotionality of teens), Stella realizes that she needs to give her love the final send-off that he truly deserves.

This review contains spoilers.

6.12 Not Tomorrow Yet

Very few shows on television can match The Walking Dead when it comes to tension. In last week's episode, where basically nothing of serious danger happened, there was a lot of developing tension. There was nothing to get really tense about, but it worked because this is a universe where letting your guard down, starting a new relationship and giving a monologue about how you'll never give up or let go of your humanity or whatever, usually leads immediately to certain death. Like the walkers that dot the landscape, trouble pops up at the worst times for the survivors.
