I was just sitting there. Living my life. Doing nothing in particular. And then my phone started going off. That’s how it started. No trailer. No press tour. No countdown clock or carefully coordinated social media rollout. Just Ebon Moss-Bachrach posting on his Instagram — COUSINS! PRIMOS! CUGINI!!!

Bring Her Back and the Photo Negative of Midsommar

Taylor Holmes — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 04:21:17 +0000
