A24 Films is proud to present the newest film in their 2025 slate–Sorry, Baby.

Written, directed by, and starring Eva Victor, Sorry, Baby follows Agnes, a once-promising academic whose life is frozen in the aftermath of a shattering personal betrayal—known only as “the bad thing.” Over the course of five emotionally intricate chapters, the film traces Agnes’s attempts to move forward while stuck in place, navigating the small-town routines of her adult life in New England. When her childhood friend Lydie (Naomi Ackie) returns from New York, their reunion reignites buried tensions, old comforts, and the question of whether healing is possible—or if survival is enough.

A sharply observed and darkly funny portrait of internalized grief and human connection, Sorry, Baby is both intimate and expansive, capturing the textures of time, memory, and the strange ways people grow apart, then back together.

Just added: before the screenings of They Live this weekend, we will be screening the 8 minute short film Hi! You Are Being Recorded, the new stoner surveillance thriller from directors Kyle Greenberg & Anna Maguire!

You see them on the street. You watch them on TV. You might even vote for one this fall. You think they’re people just like you. You’re wrong. Dead wrong. John Carpenter’s They Live is back at The Frida Cinema.

When a down-on-his-luck drifter (wrestling legend Roddy Piper) finds a pair of sunglasses that reveal the hidden reality beneath our world—subliminal messages, skeletal overlords, and a media-controlled population—he decides it’s time to fight back. What follows is part paranoid thriller, part genre-blasting satire, and all Carpenter.

They Live is the ultimate Reagan-era gut punch—a sci-fi cult classic that hides anti-capitalist fury beneath its B-movie surface and delivers it with bubblegum, shotgun shells, and one of the greatest alleyway brawls in cinema history.

Our Technicolor Summer series gets delightfully glamorous with Indiscreet—a sparkling romantic comedy that pairs the incomparable Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant in a dance of charm, wit, and stylish deception.

Bergman plays Anna Kalman, a successful London stage actress who’s all but given up on love—until she meets Philip Adams (Grant), a suave economist with a roguish smile and a secret: he claims he’s married and can’t divorce. Anna, swept off her feet despite herself, embarks on a love affair with no strings…until the truth begins to unravel.

Directed with breezy elegance by Stanley Donen, Indiscreet is a romantic farce where misunderstandings are played for sophistication, and every line sparkles with mid-century wit. But it’s the chemistry between Bergman and Grant—radiant in Technicolor—that makes this film truly irresistible.

In the early 1930s, the 3-strip Technicolor process was introduced to audiences, inviting them to experience a world dripping with vibrant saturation for the very first time. The Technicolor Summer series ranges from familiar classics to rarely-screened gems all Summer long!

David Cronenberg’s Naked Lunch isn’t just an adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ infamous novel—it’s a hallucinatory biographical fantasia, blending Burroughs’ life, addiction, and text into one grotesque and exhilarating fever dream. And now it’s been restored in a brand new 4K restoration! 

Blank-faced bug killer Bill Lee and his dead-eyed wife, Joan, like to get high on Bill’s pest poisons while lounging with Beat poet pals. After meeting the devilish Dr. Benway, Bill gets a drug made from a centipede. Upon indulging, he accidentally kills Joan, takes orders from his typewriter-turned-cockroach, ends up in a constantly mutating Mediterranean city and learns that his hip friends have published his work — which he doesn’t remember writing.

Starring Peter Weller, Judy Davis, Ian Holm, and Roy Scheider—and featuring otherworldly creature effects by Chris Walas (The Fly)—Naked Lunch is Cronenberg at his most cerebral and disturbing.

On prom night, the world will know her name. Our friends at See It On 16mm are unspooling Brian De Palma’s 1976 masterpiece Carrie!

One of the most iconic and emotionally devastating horror films ever made—Carrie is a coming-of-age tragedy turned psychic revenge nightmare. Based on Stephen King’s debut novel, the film follows shy, repressed teen Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) as she navigates the cruelty of her peers, the torment of her religious zealot mother (a terrifying Piper Laurie), and the terrifying discovery of her own telekinetic powers.

With its split-screen fury, dreamlike slow-motion, and that unforgettable final shock, Carrie is both a high school horror story and a meditation on shame, isolation, and the explosive power of rage. Now…don’t be late. You have a date with Carrie!

Join us for the Orange County premiere of the new indie thriller Plight, and stick around afterwards for a special Q&A with the film’s director, M.J. Alhabeeb Jr. and lead actor Matthew J. Plumb!

Bound by loss, their pursuit of truth reveals just how far people will go when justice slips away.
