There were a few bad omens trying to tell me that my fate with the mobile Criterion Closet was a doomed one. I decided to try to get into the closet on Sunday morning, the penultimate day of its appearance at SXSW 2025. The plan was to try again for Death of a Unicorn, at it’s second and final screening, then pop across the street after that movie was over to try my luck with the Criterion Closet.
