New Release Thursday, July 23, 2026

Over 120 new titles landed on Relay this week. Here are six worth clearing your Thursday night for.

Table No. 21

A couple wins an all-expenses trip to Fiji, and things go well right up until their host explains the rules of a new game. The prize is real. So is the way you lose. Table No. 21 takes its name from Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, the one that guarantees the right to life, and spends the whole film asking what that right is actually worth when someone with money and a grudge decides it isn't. Paresh Rawal plays the host with a patience that gets more unsettling the longer the game runs.

Thriller

Krantiveer

Krantiveer is the movie that won Nana Patekar the National Film Award and the Filmfare Award for Best Actor in the same year, and once you see the monologue that closes it out, it's not hard to understand why. He plays a directionless alcoholic whose life turns around after he meets a fearless journalist willing to fight corruption in the open, and the film builds to a speech about human decay so blunt it's still quoted in India three decades later. Dimple Kapadia won Best Supporting Actress for the same film.

Action/Adventure

Satanic Hispanics

Police raid a house in El Paso and find it full of bodies, with one survivor left to explain how this happened. Satanic Hispanics hands his story over to five different filmmakers, and the anthology it produces won Best Director at Fantastic Fest 2022. Eduardo Sánchez, one of the two directors behind the original Blair Witch Project, contributes a segment alongside Demián Rugna, Gigi Saul Guerrero, Mike Mendez, and Alejandro Brugues, each one drawing from a different corner of Latin American horror and folklore.

Horror

The Ambassador to Bern

In 1958, two Hungarian refugees walked into their own country's embassy in Switzerland and took the staff hostage, hoping the rest of the world might finally notice what had happened after the 1956 revolution was crushed. The Ambassador to Bern restages that siege almost in real time, screening to acclaim at the Cairo International Film Festival for the way it turns a forgotten diplomatic standoff into something closer to a chamber thriller. Director Attila Szász keeps the whole thing contained to a handful of rooms, which only raises the tension.

Drama

A Tribe Called Love

Farah and Halima fall for each other as teenagers in a Somali neighborhood in Toronto, get warned off by their families for coming from rival tribes, and lose each other completely when Farah's family moves away. A Tribe Called Love picks the story back up years later, when the two run into each other again as adults and have to decide whether the thing between them survived. Writer-director Mohamed Ahmed built the film out of the same Toronto Somali community he grew up documenting, and it won the Audience Choice Award at the 2025 Reelworld Film Festival.

Drama

Burt

A street musician with Parkinson's has his weekend upended by a young man from New York who shows up claiming to be his son. Burt was shot in seven days on a budget of seven thousand dollars, in black and white, and still walked away with the Copper Wing Award for Best Picture at the Phoenix Film Festival. Burt Berger, the man the film is named for and modeled on, plays a version of himself, and director Joe Burke, whose own father lives with Parkinson's, shoots the friendship at the center of it with more patience than sentiment.
