However, that doesn't mean we haven't found the defining film of 2026 yet, with one release perfectly capturing the insatiable hunger from audiences for new stories, the current peak of a beloved theatrical genre, and the breakout moment for a sure-fire Hollywood superstar.
Of course, we're talking about Focus Features' Obsession , directed by YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Curry Barker , and starring the Oscars-bound Inde Navarrette .
