Sideshow

About This Movie

Sideshow (2022) is this quirky blend of comedy and crime that really leans into the absurdity of its premise. You’ve got these two bumbling criminals who think they’re in for an easy score, but they’re up against a washed-up psychic who’s anything but predictable. The pacing is a bit erratic but intentional; it keeps you on your toes. The performances are, well, delightfully awkward, adding to that offbeat charm. I appreciated the practical effects sprinkled throughout—there’s something refreshing about seeing that instead of all CGI. It’s not your typical heist film, and maybe that’s what sets it apart. The themes of desperation and delusion are threaded in a way that complements the comedy nicely.
