Lars Jacob Holm
Lars Jacob Holm is basically the guy behind some of the most talked-about releases of 2024—yeah, we’re talking about Dreams (Sex Love), Love, and Sex. If you’ve been anywhere near the indie film scene, you’ve probably heard his name thrown around. There’s something raw and just a little bit chaotic about his storytelling. Like, he doesn’t shy away from awkwardness or messy emotions; he leans right into them. His films kind of grab you by the collar and force you to pay attention. They’re not about clean-cut romance or picture-perfect endings. Nope. You get tangled relationships, that weird gray area between love and lust, and more than a few uncomfortable silences that somehow say more than an entire monologue could.
Dreams (Sex Love) basically slices open the idea of intimacy and lays it all out—warts and all. It’s not the sort of movie you watch and forget; you’ll probably keep thinking about it days later, replaying conversations in your head. Love, on the other hand, isn’t your typical sappy romance. It digs into obsession, heartbreak, and that desperate, almost embarrassing longing for connection. And Sex, well, it’s blunt. There’s no sugarcoating. It’s honest, sometimes awkward, and weirdly funny in spots. Holm’s style? Unapologetic, real, sometimes uncomfortable, but always captivating. If you’re after movies that feel lived-in and true, his 2024 trio is honestly worth every minute.
