“How do we you know if we’re good people pretending to be bad…? Or bad ones pretending to be good?” Yowza! Magnolia Pictures has debuted the sizzling hot full official trailer for the film Carolina Caroline, an acclaimed indie romantic thriller from filmmaker Adam Carter Rehmeier (Jonas, Dinner in America, Snack Shack) ready to roar into theaters this summer. The film premiered to rave reviews at TIFF last fall and is hitting the big screen in June. This romantic heist thriller features Samara Weaving as Caroline Daniels, whose desire to leave her tiny Texas town brings her into the orbit of a charismatic con man (Kyle Gallner), and together they weave a path of crime and passion across the American Southeast. Lots of sex and trouble! Also starring Kyra Sedgwick, the film features a wide-ranging country music soundtrack to boot, with tracks from artists such as Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Loretta Lynn, and over a dozen others. This stars Samara Weaving, Kyle Gallner, Kyra Sedgwick, and Jon Gries. Early reviews call the film a “rip-roaring, tragic, joyride” that features “a pair of dynamite lead performances.” Gallner also follows up calling it a “sexy summertime crime love story chaotic fun for your eyes.” Now this is one helluva trailer! I’m down.

Intro from TIFF: “In his latest slice of anarchic Americana, writer-director Adam Carter Rehmeier first introduces us to the always effervescent Samara Weaving as Caroline. Listless and living a small life in a small town, she dutifully cares for her single father (Jon Gries) though she longs to break from her dusty and dull world. But when she observes a handsome drifter (Kyle Gallner) pull a sly con for a few bucks, her curiosity sparks an introduction that ignites an apprenticeship. Before long, their lucrative, if untenable, criminal enterprise dovetails into a passionate romance.” Carolina Caroline is directed by American indie filmmaker / cinematographer Adam Carter Rehmeier, director of the films The Bunny Game, Jonas, Dinner in America, and Snack Shack previously. The screenplay is written by Tom Dean. Produced by Trevor White, Eric B. Fleischman, Stephen Braun, Chris Ward, Chris Abernathy, Tim White. This initially premiered at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival last year. Magnolia Pictures debuts Rehmeier’s Carolina Caroline in select US theaters starting on June 5th, 2026 coming up this summer. Who’s down?
