The other main cast members are Sophia Heikkilä and Jani Volanen who have primarily been acting in Scandinavian films.ĭarren Aronofsky movies have always been known to be dark and disturbing films, such as Requiem for A Dream, but it’s impossible not to see a similar relationship between mother and daughter in Bergholm’s Hatching. This movie is lead actress Siiri Solalinna’s debut role, which was reportedly difficult to cast.

And that's been the case ever since Bong Joon-ho made a splash at the 2020 Academy Awards, taking home the prestigious Best Picture award for his South Korean film, Parasite. But don’t let that stop you from checking it out, as foreign language films are on the rise in popularity lately. Written by Ilja Rautsi and directed by Hanna Bergholm, this Finnish movie (called Pahanhautoja in Finnish) will require subtitles if you do not speak the language. It currently has an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 6.9/10 on IMDb. The movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2022, and was met with positive reviews. IFC Midnight must have had this in mind when they set the release date for their most recent movie, Hatching to have a limited theatrical release in the United States on April 29, 2022. It’s now officially springtime, which means baby birds will soon be hatching out of their eggs and into the world.
