Madly explores love in all its permutations in six short films from a vibrant group of filmmakers representing Japan, Argentina, the UK, the US, India, and Australia. All forms of love are on display in this anthology. And all manners of feelings expressed from jubilance to depression are done so strongly.

Radhika Apte's segment hits like a freight train of repressed rage.

Sion Sono's segment is visually unhinged in the best way.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mia Wasikowska and Natasha Khan (Bat for Lashes) both made their directorial debuts here, representing a rare female perspective in an anthology dominated by male auteurs.
The 4.9 TMDB rating reflects how badly this was marketed—it's deliberately uneven by design, not by accident.
