A scene from Carolina Caroline (2026), the Magnolia Pictures crime romance starring Samara Weaving and Kyle Gallner, in limited theaters now

Carolina Caroline is in limited theaters from Magnolia Pictures. Adam Rehmeier directed it. Opened June 5.

A bored Texas gas station clerk meets a charming criminal drifter. They drive south through a hazy 1990s America, conning and stealing until it becomes something bigger. Samara Weaving plays Caroline. Kyle Gallner plays Oliver. Their chemistry is the movie.

93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Variety calls their connection so instant and so electric. If you liked Badlands or Bonnie and Clyde, Magnolia Pictures has made you a movie.

Before you go, watch Badlands. Watch it again if you have already seen it. Caroline is chasing something Badlands found 50 years ago.

Samara Weaving and Kyle Gallner are finally getting the star vehicle they deserve. It is playing right now and you don't know about it.
