Sharing- Make your way to Playhouse Cinema this Monday for a Movie + Q&A

OUR HERO, BALTHAZAR
Plus Q&A with Writer-Director Oscar Boyson
2026 | 94% on RottenTomatoes

STARRING Jaeden Martell, Asa Butterfield, Avan Jogia, Noah Centineo
DIRECTED BY Oscar Boyson (Producer of Uncut Gems, Good Time, more)

Eager to impress his activist crush, a wealthy New York teenager follows an online connection to Texas, where he's convinced he can stop an act of extreme violence. Take a shot at friendship.

Film producer Oscar Boyson known for his collaborations with the Safdie Brothers presents OUR HERO, BLATHAZAR as his feature film debut.

"A black-comic acid bath that, in only an hour and a half, nods to so many contemporary concerns that it rivals last year’s “Eddington” in its scope... The film may not propose a solution to any of our maladies, but it’s a bitterly convincing diagnosis." - Wall Street Journal
"It’s a cutting, audacious, and at times astonishing movie. Yet what makes it work is that Boyson, who cowrote the script with Ricky Camilleri, is truly onto something." - Variety
