“Carolina Caroline” is a 2025 American romantic crime thriller film directed by Adam Carter Rehmeier and written by William Thomas Dean IV, starring Samara Weaving, Kyle Gallner, Jon Gries, and Kyra Sedgwick. The film follows A young woman who joins a charming con man on the run, leaving a trail of crime and passion as they hustle through the Southeast in search of her estranged mother. It had its world premiere in the Centerpiece program of the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its chemistry between its two leads, Rehmeier’s look at the American deep South, and its fusion of the romance and crime genres, creating a “Bonnie and Clyde” story for a new era. Weaving, Gallner, and Rehmeier were all kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Magnolia Pictures. Thank you, and enjoy!
