Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: Oscars Quest ’26 continues! Once again we see how many among the latest wave of Academy Award nominees I can catch before the big ABC ceremony. Pretty much every single time, at least one of the last films on my to-do list is whichever nominee for Best International Feature is the last to open here in Indianapolis.
I wish I could’ve gotten to the Spanish drama Sirat when it screened at last year’s Heartland Film Festival, which was on my shortlist but got cut because their lineup was too impressive for me to get to everything I wanted to in a single week. (Other regretted cuts included Arco and The Secret Agent.) Fortunately its limited-release rollout reached the Midwest just in time for its two big showdowns for Best International Feature and Best Sound. Fans of the latter category are encouraged to see it somewhere with the strongest speakers possible.
Midlife Crisis Crossover!
