Greer Grounds the Madness in Tabloid-Style Chili Finger at SXSW
At SXSW, Chili Finger lands as a tabloid-inspired dark comedy anchored by Judy Greer, with Bryan Cranston and John Goodman turning up in heightened, offbeat roles; a severed finger in chili kicks off a spiraling, violent farce that tests the film’s tone. Greer provides the film’s human center amid the chaos, but the screenplay’s relentless quirkiness can feel overdone, leaving the movie uneven yet memorable.
